Adding a payment method: On account [🇩🇪 Germany only]
Table of Contents
If you want to allow your customers to pay on account, you can create a corresponding payment method in the DISH POS Backoffice. It’s important that this transaction does not appear in the cashbook, since no physical cash or electronic payment is actually made.
Step-by-step-list:
- Log in to the DISH POS Backoffice
- Open the Payment section in the left navigation bar
- Go to Payment methods
- You will now see an overview of all existing payment methods

- Click on + Add payment method
- A new window will open where you can create a new payment method

- Enter a name for the payment method
For example, type On account in the Name field
- Select the Payment Method Type
- Set the type to Non-integrated payment terminal
- This is currently a workaround to ensure that the transaction is not incorrectly recorded in the cashbook
- In the future, there will be a clearer payment method type specifically for this kind of transaction
- Set the type to Non-integrated payment terminal
- Select the appropriate currency
- Choose Euro (€) or the relevant currency for your setup
- Define the fiscal reference
- Set the Fiscal reference field to Other transfer
- This prevents the transaction from being registered in the cashbook
- Set the Fiscal reference field to Other transfer
- Save your settings
- Click Save to create the new payment method

Note: For general information on how to add and manage payment methods in DISH POS, please refer to the article Payment Methods-Adding and managing payment methods (incl. payment menus).
