Payment Methods
After a bill is generated, SlonAxis offers multiple ways to accept payment. This page covers each method in detail.
UPI QR Code (Recommended)
The most common method in salons. A large scannable QR code appears on the payment screen.
- Customer scans QR with any UPI app (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, etc.)
- Payment request automatically opens in their app
- Customer enters PIN and completes payment
tip
QR works best for instant, in-person UPI payments. Ensure good lighting for scanning.
Manual Payment Recording
For cash, card, or any other offline method:
- Tap "Received" button
- Enter payment details:
- Payment method (Cash, Card, etc.)
- Reference number (optional)
- Screenshot (optional — for manual proof)
- Note (optional)
- Tap "Confirm" to mark payment complete
Share Payment Link
For remote or delayed payments:
- Tap "Share" button on the payment screen
- Select contact method (WhatsApp, Email, SMS, etc.)
- Sends payment link to customer
- Customer clicks link and pays online — no need for in-person payment
Use cases:
- Customer not present at time of billing
- Advance payments or deposits
- Group billing (send link to multiple people)
Payment Actions
At the bottom of the payment screen, you have three options:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cancel | Undo checkout, discard the bill, and go back to cart (items become editable again) |
| Received | Mark payment as received manually (cash, card, etc.) |
| Share | Send payment link to customer via WhatsApp, SMS, or email |
Payment Statuses
