Process a Split Transaction — Two Payment Methods

Modified on Thu, May 14 at 12:34 PM

Use this guide when a customer wants to pay a single repair order using two different payment methods in the same session — for example, part by terminal and part by check, or any other combination.

Split Transaction requires a specific permission. If the Split Transaction button is not visible, contact your DealerWorks administrator to request access.

Steps

  1. 1 From the Process Transaction screen, click Split Transaction. Enter the specific dollar amount for the first payment and click Confirm.
  2. 2 The payment screen reopens showing the split amount. Select the payment method for the first portion — you can use any available method (Terminal, Check, Cash, ACH, etc.).
  3. 3 Add any internal notes required by your dealership, then review the details and click Process to finalize the first payment.
  4. 4 Once the first payment is approved, a summary screen displays the remaining balance. DealerWorks calculates this automatically. Review the amount and click Confirm to proceed to the second payment.
  5. 5 The payment screen reopens for the remaining balance. Select the second payment method and complete any steps required for that payment type.
  6. 6 Click Process to finalize the second payment.
  7. 7 Once both payments are approved, print or email the receipt to the customer, then click Finish & Close to return to the main dashboard.

Tips

  • You can use any combination of payment methods — Terminal, Check, Cash, ACH, BNPL, and others.
  • The remaining balance is calculated automatically after the first payment — you don't need to subtract it manually.
