# Payment Methods

> Configure the payment methods staff can use for retail orders.

Use payment methods to define how staff can record payment.

## Keep Methods Clean

Keep only supported methods enabled. Too many unused methods make reports harder to reconcile.

After changing payment methods, test one order and confirm it appears correctly in transactions and payment reports.
