Overview

During onboarding, you can choose how to process payments:

Option 1: Use MoeGo Pay (Recommended)

Accept payments directly within MoeGo, including:

  • Terminal payments

  • Invoice links

  • Card on file

You can also connect MoeGo-supported card readers for seamless checkout.

Option 2: Use an External POS

Continue using an external processor (e.g., Square, Clover):

  • Charge customers outside MoeGo

  • Manually record the payment in MoeGo for tracking

Note: Payments processed externally will not sync automatically into MoeGo.

Troubleshooting

Payments Not Working (Invoice, Card on File, Checkout)
