In this article, you will be guided on the process of handling payments through the method of **"Split Check."**

**Split** – is when customers prefer or request for distribution of multiple products across multiple checks to split the total payment. You can perform a split charge by seats, evenly, or a custom split, depending on customers’ preferences.
| **Types of Split** | **Description** |
| ---- |
| **Split by Seat** | Split by seat divides the payment based on the number of seats occupied at the table. If selected, it will automatically split the payment. **Note**: Split by seat is only available for table service type restaurants. |
| **Split Evenly** | Splitting the payment into an even amount. |
| **Custom Split** | Split payment on an item they only want to pay for, or the customer to pay for an item they only ordered. |

|| Note: Custom Split and Split Evenly can accommodate up to a maximum of 8 splits from a single check.
