# Choose payment methods in Jovvie Point of Sale

Section: Jovvie Point of Sale > Set up

> Turn payment methods on or off, set their order and default, and choose a different set for one station.

Choose which payment methods staff see in the Jovvie Point of Sale register, in what order, and which one is highlighted first. You can set this once for all [stations](https://docs.jovvie.com/start-here/glossary/#station), or give one station its own set.

## Before you start

- To take Stripe card payments, connect Stripe first. See [Connect Stripe to Jovvie Point of Sale](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/connect-stripe/).
- To take NMI card payments, contact [Jovvie support](https://jovvie.com/support/) to get NMI connected. The NMI settings are then in **POS** > **Settings** > **NMI**. See [Stripe and NMI: what’s different](https://docs.jovvie.com/payments/stripe-vs-nmi/).
- You need to be an administrator or shop manager.

## Turn payment methods on or off

1. In your dashboard, go to **POS** > **Settings** > **Gateway**.
2. Find the payment method in the list.
3. Use the **Enabled** switch to turn it on or off.
4. Click **Save Changes**.

Each row shows the method’s name under **Gateway**. If you renamed a method, the new name appears here and in the register.

**Invoice** only appears in the register after Stripe is connected.

## Change the order

Staff see payment methods in the same order as this list.

1. Drag a payment method up or down the list.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

## Choose the default payment method

The default method is highlighted when staff open the payment screen.

1. Select the radio button under **Default** next to the method. You can only choose a method that is turned on.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

## Choose the order status after payment

**Order Status** sets the status an order gets after staff take payment with that method.

1. Under **Order Status**, select a status for the method.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

You cannot change the **Order Status** for the Stripe and NMI card payment methods. A card payment that pays the full order on its own sets the order to **Completed**. For exceptions, such as split payments and card amounts that do not match the order, see [Payment statuses](https://docs.jovvie.com/payments/payment-statuses/).

## Rename a method or change its settings

1. Click **Setting** next to the payment method.
2. In **Name**, enter the name staff see in the register.
3. In **Description**, enter a short description, if you want one.
4. Change any other settings on this screen.
5. Click **Save Changes**. If you are editing a station’s payment methods on its **Gateway** tab, click **Save** instead.

Other settings on this screen are covered on their own pages:

- [Set up Express checkout](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/express-checkout/)
- [Add a payment method fee](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/payment-method-fees/)
- [Set up invoice payment terms](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/invoice-terms/)
- [Set up multiple currencies](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/currencies/)

## Use different payment methods for one station

By default, every station uses the settings in **POS** > **Settings** > **Gateway**. To give one station its own payment methods:

1. Go to **POS** > **Stations**.

2. Find the station and click **Edit Station**.

3. Open the **Gateway** tab.

4. Under **Gateway Source**, select **Use Station-Level**.

5. Click **Save**.

   The station’s list starts as a copy of your current site-wide settings.

6. Use the **Enabled** switches to turn methods on or off.

7. Drag the methods into the order you want.

8. Under **Default**, select the default method.

9. Under **Order Status**, select a status for each method that allows changes. Stripe and NMI card payment statuses cannot be changed.

10. If you want to change a method’s own settings, follow the steps in [Rename a method or change its settings](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/payment-methods/#rename-a-method-or-change-its-settings).

11. Click **Save**.

From now on, changes in **POS** > **Settings** > **Gateway** do not affect this station. To go back to the site-wide settings, set **Gateway Source** to **Use Global (default)** and click **Save**.
