Can customers pay with two cards at Shopify POS?
Yes. Shopify POS lets you accept more than one payment method for an order: on the Select payments screen, tap Split payment, then set the method and amount for each payment. You can also retrieve the order later and collect the balance by a method of the customer's choice. On a POS device, Accept split payments sits under Settings > Payments > Payment options, but a device can only activate options on the default payment options for all devices list, which only the POS editor in your Shopify admin sets.
Two more limits: gift card purchases must be paid in full, and in some EU retail locations, such as France, Italy and Spain, POS can't mark a transaction partially paid or unpaid at checkout, so in those locations a balance can't be left for later.
What can customers combine at online checkout?
At online checkout, Shopify documents gift cards plus one other method: “Multiple gift cards can be used on a single order,” and if they fall short, the customer chooses “an additional payment method” for the balance. So tell customers: gift cards first, then one additional payment method for the rest.
How can you take two cards on an online order?
- Once a draft order or other order has payment terms, collect multiple partial payments in your admin.
- Take each by new card, vaulted B2B card or manual payment.
- Install an app whose listing offers split or partial payment (snapshot, October 25, 2026): DP: Deposit & Partial Payment, Deposit & Partial Payment Depo, PartialPay Deposit & Split COD.
