Only the amount of the order can be paid with a payout. Anything above it goes back to the customer in cash.
In the examples below the order is $20.00.
| The customer has… | What you tap | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| a $10 ticket | APPLY AS PAYMENT | $10 goes to the order, the customer pays the other $10 |
| a $50 ticket | APPLY AS PAYMENT, then GIVE $30.00 CASH AS CHANGE | the order is paid, $30.00 handed over in cash |
| no order at all | REMOVE CASH | cash leaves the drawer, no order is touched |



The change window opens by itself when the payout is bigger than the order. Afterwards the paid part is in Clover Orders, the cash part is in Clover Cash Log — it is not a sale, so it is not in Sales Reports — and every payout with its employee and reason is in Reports in the app.
Settings → Payout Mode decides what happens to the applied amount: Issue payouts + remove cash also records it in the Cash Log, Issue payouts only applies it to the order only. The app ships with Issue payouts only.
