Paying by card or by cash

The game tracks more than one kind of payment.

Customers in Supermarket Simulator do not all pay the same way: the game has its own list of payment types, records how each customer paid, and can settle your bills for you automatically.

In play

Payment is a choice in the game rather than one fixed animation. It keeps a list of payment types with an entry for each, which is how one customer can pay one way and the next customer another.

A single sale is recorded on its own. Each customer payment is kept as a separate record with the method used on it, so the till behaves like a log of payments rather than one running number that only ever goes up.

Coins are handled as their own case. The game treats coin payment differently from the other methods, which is why small change does not behave the same way as a card.

You are not always the one paying either. The game can settle bills on your behalf automatically, and it can show you what it paid after it has done so.

What this entry does not tell you: what share of customers pay by card, or whether accepting cards costs you a fee. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
