Why Use Negative Tender App?

Because issuing a payout should be quick and easy.

Whether you're paying a vendor, customer, or yourself, Negative Tender lets you handle non-sale payouts instantly from your POS — no inventory, discount, or refund required. Every payout is tracked in your reports and cash log automatically.

Because you handle lottery sales and redemptions.
Negative Tender simplifies state lottery payouts. Instead of manually entering a reason, just select one from your custom list during the transaction.

Because merchants often take cash out for business expenses.
Whether paying for incoming inventory or reimbursing themselves, merchants can log these cash payouts with custom reasons for full visibility and accountability.

CorePOS by CSI Works

The Negative Tender App integrates directly with CorePOS, allowing merchants to issue payouts from within the POS flow. Payouts are recorded as part of the transaction history, categorized by reason, and visible in reports. Whether issuing vendor reimbursements, lottery payouts, or deposit returns, all activity is processed and tracked natively through CorePOS during checkout and in the back office.

Payments App (Clover)

The Negative Tender button appears directly within the Clover Payments app, allowing merchants to issue payouts seamlessly from the same screen used to process regular transactions.

Cash Log (Clover)

All payouts issued through Negative Tender are logged in the Clover Cash Log, including payout amount and reason, ensuring full transparency and accountability.

Reports (Clover)

Negative Tender transactions show up in Clover’s native reporting tools, making end-of-day reconciliation easier and more accurate.

Orders (Clover)

When merchants enter a payout amount, Negative Tender offers the option to apply that amount as a payment toward the currently open order. This ensures accurate reflection of mixed transactions involving both purchases and payouts.

Transactions (Clover)

Negative Tender records payout activity in the Clover Transactions app. This is especially useful when customers make a purchase and redeem something (like a lottery ticket or bottle deposit) in a single transaction.

Interacts with other hardware

Works with receipt printers

Negative Tender supports payout receipt printing. Merchants can configure the app to either always print a receipt automatically or prompt the user during each payout transaction.

Connects to cash drawer for accurate cash tracking

Negative Tender can trigger the cash drawer to open when issuing a payout to a customer or vendor. Alternatively, it can be configured to keep the drawer closed — such as when the payout is immediately applied back as a customer payment to the merchant.

Known Limitations

Issuing a Payout Without a Sale

Negative Tender lives on the payment screen. If there's no purchase involved, simply add a $0.00 item to reach the payment screen — and issue the payout from there.
