# Payments Receiving payment in Flow Retail is both very easy to do, and flexible. ## A few important notes on payments * You can **use an unlimited number of payment methods** on one settlement/order * E.g. on an order with a total amount of 1000, you can give your customer the option to pay 100 in cash, 500 one one card, 200 on another card, and the remaining 200 by gift card, to put it to the extreme * Note that combining multiple payment methods makes it more complex to do a refund, as especially card refunds must be refunded towards the exact same card * We recommend to **have at least two modern paymet methods** (cash is not defined as modern) active, like card payment and one of the available mobile payment methods, like Dintero or Softpay, in case of technical issues --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
