How to create a custom tender, a generic payment type to use for more detailed payment reporting

What's in this article?

Custom tenders provide a way for you to create generic payment types to allow for more detailed payment reporting. For example, if you use Groupon® to create special offers for customers, you can use custom tenders to close out tickets and report Groupon® activity separately from other payment methods. Businesses using third-party delivery services, like UberEats, also benefit from custom tenders.

Custom tender is not an available option for Essentials Light.
