# Customer Payment Method Selection

### Customer Payment Method Selection

You can configure the terminal to ask the customer if they want to pay with cash or with a card. When you enable the cash or card question, the operator enters the amount of the sale before passing the terminal to the customer. The customer then touches the payment method they want to use to continue the transaction.

By default, the cash or card question is disabled.

#### **To enable or disable the customer payment method selection:**

1. From the main screen, touch **Settings**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/secure-payment/payment-standalone-mode/terminal-configuration/customer-payment-method-selection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
