How to record mixed payment sales

Handle sales where a customer pays using more than one payment method.

Sometimes a customer may pay partly by Cash and partly by M-PESA or Bank.

Simple approach

  • Record separate sales for each payment account if needed.
  • Use clear notes to explain that the payments belong to the same customer purchase.

Example

  • If a customer pays KSh 600 cash and KSh 400 by M-PESA, record one Cash sale for KSh 600 and one M-PESA sale for KSh 400, with notes explaining the split.

Why this helps

  • Cash and M-PESA balances stay accurate.
