Each payment method (Cash, Card, Bank Transfer…) can be wired to a gateway provider that processes the charge automatically. This is what makes the ⚡ Charge button appear at POS and on Invoices. Without a gateway wired up, the method falls back to manual entry — the cashier records the tender but the system doesn't reach out to a payment processor.
Two flavours of gateway are supported, and they need slightly different prep work:
Using your own Paystack account? (Setup → Gateway Credentials, see Use your own Paystack account.) Then the bank account needs no subaccount: in the steps below, Add gateway to this account → Paystack just shows Ready to attach — press Attach Paystack. The money lands in the bank account set on your Paystack dashboard.
