Terminal is a tool that allows you to accept payments from customers using a QR code on your smartphone. Previously, it was not linked to deals, and you had to create payments separately in the mobile app.
Now you can create such a payment right in the deal form and choose an employee who will accept it. Once the employee processes the payment, your customer will receive a proof of payment via SMS. All the information about the payment is saved to the deal timeline, and you won't miss anything.
Here are two examples of use cases for this payment method:
-
Courier delivery. An employee contacts a client, creates a deal, and adds products. Another employee (the courier) delivers the products to the client and accepts the payment using a QR code.
-
Pickup point. An employee contacts a client, creates a deal, and adds products. Another employee is waiting for the client at the pickup point to give the products to the client and accept the payment using a QR code.
In the article, learn how to create and accept payments via terminal from the deal form.
