Common questions

Cash receipting — answered.

The questions we hear most when towns are evaluating this module. Anything specific to your charter, your state, or your existing vendor — we'll answer on the discovery call.

01 What payment methods does the front-counter terminal accept? +
Cash, check, credit/debit card, and ACH on the same terminal. Credit-card processing through your acquirer of choice — we don't lock you into a single payments vendor. End-of-day reconciliation reconciles all four streams against the bank deposit.
02 How does it handle a resident paying for multiple things at once? +
Look up the account once and add line items from any module — utility bill, tax payment, dog license renewal, beach pass, building permit. One transaction, one receipt, auto-posted to the right ledger accounts.
03 What happens when the drawer doesn't reconcile? +
Variance is flagged with the line items most likely to be off. The closing clerk reviews and signs off; managers see a daily variance report. Audit trail captures every adjustment.
04 Can we have multiple terminals at different windows? +
Yes. Each terminal has its own drawer ID, end-of-day close, and reports. Cross-window oversight comes from the manager dashboard showing all terminals' status in real time.
