You can add a card on file for any order, directly from the point of sale.
<aside> 👉 The “card on file” workflow is distinct from Separate Auth & Capture. When you add a card on file, you are storing card details to charge at a later time. In contrast, with Separate Auth & Capture the card details are not stored, and the short-lived authorization must be promptly captured before it expires (within 48 hours).

Create a draft order from the Point of Sale application.
Enter customer details for the order (the customer can be a member, or a non-member).
From the Payment tab, select one of the following payment methods:
a) Card Reader
b) Manual Card Entry
You will see a new button pop up on the bottom left (”Add Card on File”). Click that button to add a card on file for this order. Once added, you can hand the card back to the guest or member, and charge the card later.
<aside> 💡 Adding a card on file for a member’s order will also add the card as a payment method for the membership (eg. to pay membership dues, or future point of sale orders).
