Payment settings control which methods appear at checkout — both in the web POS and on the ePOS waiter app. You can enable international card gateways with test and live modes, turn on cash or QR payments, and define your own custom offline methods such as bank transfer or cheque.
You need the Manage Settings permission (typically the Admin role) to configure payment methods.

​
Where to find payment settings

Go to Settings → Payment Settings in the left sidebar. The page is divided into tabs — one per gateway, plus a tab for offline payment methods.

​
Setting up an online payment gateway

oFatoura supports the following gateways: Paymob, AmwalPay, Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, Payfast, Paystack, Flutterwave, and Xendit. Each gateway follows the same general setup pattern:
1

Open the gateway tab

In Settings → Payment Settings, click the tab for the gateway you want to configure (for example, Stripe or Paymob).
2

Enable the gateway

Toggle the Enable switch at the top of the tab to turn the gateway on.
3

Choose test or live mode

Use the Mode selector to choose Test (sandbox) or Live (production). Always verify in test mode before switching to live.
4

Enter your API credentials

Fill in the credential fields shown for that gateway. The exact fields vary by provider — see the table below for what each gateway requires.
5

Save your changes

Click Save (or the equivalent save button on the tab). The gateway becomes available as a payment option immediately.

​
Credential fields by gateway

Paymob supports multiple integration IDs. Add each integration ID on a separate line if your Paymob account handles more than one payment channel (for example, card and mobile wallet).

​
Webhook URLs

Each gateway tab displays a Webhook URL for that provider. Copy this URL into your gateway’s dashboard so oFatoura can receive payment confirmations. These URLs are read-only in oFatoura — you configure them on the gateway side, not here.
Switching from Test to Live mode without updating your credentials to production keys will cause payment failures. Double-check both the mode selector and all credential fields before going live.

​
Cash payments

On the gateway settings page, there is a Cash section with an enable/disable toggle. Turn this on to allow staff to record cash payments against orders. No credentials are needed for cash.

​
QR code payments

If you accept payments by QR code (for example, a local wallet or bank transfer QR):
1

Enable QR payment

Find the QR Payment option in the payment settings and enable it.
2

Upload your QR image

Upload the QR code image for your payment account. This image is shown to customers at checkout so they can scan and pay.
3

Save

Save your changes. The QR payment option will appear when staff process an order.

​
Custom offline payment methods

Use offline payment methods for scenarios like bank transfer, cheque, or any other manual collection process you want to name and track.

​
Adding a new offline method

1

Go to the Offline Payments tab

In Settings → Payment Settings, click the Offline Payments tab.
2

Click Add

Click the button to add a new offline payment method.
3

Fill in the details

Enter a Method name (required, up to 255 characters) and a Description explaining the method to staff (required, up to 1,000 characters).
4

Set the status

Leave Status as Active so the method appears at checkout, or set it to Inactive to hide it without deleting it.
5

Save

Save the method. It will immediately appear as a payment option in the POS.

​
Editing or deleting offline methods

From the Offline Payments tab, each listed method has edit and delete actions. Deleting a method removes it from the list; historical payments recorded against it are preserved in your payment records.
