Holding and Resuming Transactions
Sometimes you have to put transactions on hold so the customer can come back later to complete it. T
Jun 01, 2026When a customer orders from your store online, if your store is set to allow Payment at Store Pickup, they can choose to pick it up in the physical store and pay for it at the register. In that case, you can process online transactions from the New Sale screen of the eTailPet system. This article shows you how to set your store to allow this, what checkout looks like with that option, and how to take payment for those online transactions. Take a look at how it works!

If you want your customers to be able to pay in-store for online orders, you'll need to be logged into the system as an Admin. Click your User icon in the far upper right of the page and go to Settings.

On the Settings page, click to open the Stores tab. Find the store you want and click on its Edit link.

Scroll down the Edit Store page to the section near the bottom for Other Info and find the Enable Pay In-Store setting. Check the box for that setting, if needed, and if you made a change, click the Save button in the lower right of the page.

That store location for your online store will now allow the customer the option to pay for website orders in-store.
When the customer goes to view their cart, they are able to choose the Delivery Method for all products, or individually if they need different methods.

At checkout, the customer will have the option to Pay for "Store Pickup" Order In-Store if you have configured that for web orders, as described above.

In the final order summary, the customer will see the address of the store pickup location and the amount they will be expected to pay.

When you log into the system, in the System Reminders under the Alarm Bell icon at the top of the page, you'll see a list of system notifications that will include any Pickup orders placed through your website.

If you click a Pickup order notification, you will open an Order details page. The Lines tab of the Order page will show you which items to gather for the pickup order.

Follow these instructions to have a customer pay for an online order in New Sale:
