# Stores and points of sale Stores and points of sale let you organize all your payment activity — in-person and online — inside one MONEI account. Use them to segment payments by location, register, or channel, to control what each staff member sees, and to create QR codes and permanent payment links. ## How MONEI organizes your business[​](#hierarchy "Direct link to How MONEI organizes your business") * A **store** represents a shop, brand, or business unit. It has its own name, contact details, and address. On request, it can settle to its own bank account. * A **point of sale (POS)** is a specific checkout inside a store — a register, a table, a QR display, or a staff member taking payments. * A **QR code** belongs to a QR-type point of sale. Each code has a permanent URL that works as a scannable QR and as a shareable payment link. * Every payment can carry a `storeId` and a `pointOfSaleId`, so you can group, filter, and report on it. ## Stores[​](#stores "Direct link to Stores") ### Create a store[​](#create-store "Direct link to Create a store") Create and manage stores in [MONEI Dashboard → Settings → Stores](https://dashboard.monei.com/settings/stores). Add the store name, email, phone number, website, and address. Each store shows its unique `storeId` on the store management screen. ![Configure Stores](/assets/images/configure-stores-db6ac00672765528ff2c77e6cf8b0100.png) There is no extra cost to add stores, as long as they belong to the same business entity. If you need a fully separate setup instead — a different website, its own dashboard access, or separate accounting — create [another account](https://docs.monei.com/manage-account/multiple-accounts/.md). ### Settle each store to its own IBAN[​](#store-iban "Direct link to Settle each store to its own IBAN") MONEI can send each store's settlements to a different IBAN, so revenue from each location reaches its own bank account. This is not configurable from the dashboard: [contact support](https://support.monei.com/hc/requests/new) to enable it — MONEI verifies that each IBAN belongs to your business before activating it. Once configured, each store's IBAN appears read-only in your [stores list](https://dashboard.monei.com/settings/stores). ## Points of sale[​](#points-of-sale "Direct link to Points of sale") Create points of sale in [MONEI Dashboard → Settings → Points of Sale](https://dashboard.monei.com/settings/points-of-sale). ### Types[​](#pos-types "Direct link to Types") | Type | What it does | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **QR Code** | Generates one or more QR codes for in-person payments. Each code is also a permanent payment link you can share or embed. | | **Virtual** | Has no code. A virtual point of sale groups payments and restricts user access — for a register, a branch, or a staff member taking payments through the dashboard, the API, or MONEI Pay. | info The type is set when you create the point of sale and cannot be changed later. Public administration accounts see a third type, **C60**, for tax and fee collection — see [Cuaderno 60](https://docs.monei.com/public-administration/cuaderno-60/.md). ### Payment settings[​](#pos-settings "Direct link to Payment settings") QR-type points of sale control how their payment page behaves: | Setting | Description | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Name** | Identifier for this point of sale — for example, "Store entrance" or "Table 5". | | **Store** | The store this point of sale belongs to. | | **Payment flow** | **Manual amount** — the customer or staff enters the amount each time. **Fixed amount** — every payment charges the same amount, in the currency you set. | | **Allowed payment methods** | Restrict which payment methods appear on the payment page — for example, card and Bizum only. | | **Manually capture payment** | Place a hold when the customer authorizes, capture the funds later. Shown only when every selected payment method supports it (card, PayPal, Bizum). Uncaptured holds expire in 7 days; support can extend this up to 30 days. | | **Require email** | The customer must enter their email on the payment page. Enables receipts and the order QR below. | | **Require tax ID** | The customer must enter their tax ID (NIF/CIF) before paying. Useful for invoicing. | | **Callback URL** | MONEI sends a POST notification to this URL when a payment completes at this point of sale — a webhook without any integration work. If a payment is created with its own `callbackUrl`, that value wins. Handle it like any callback: verify the `MONEI-Signature` and return `200 OK` — see [receive webhook events](https://docs.monei.com/guides/webhooks/.md). | | **Include order QR in email** | Adds a scannable QR with the order ID to the payment confirmation email. Requires **Require email**. See [validate orders](https://docs.monei.com/payments/qr-codes-and-payment-links/.md#order-qr). | | **QR code text** | Text shown next to the QR in the confirmation email — for example, "Scan this code at the entrance". | | **Description** | Attached to every payment created from this point of sale. | | **Enabled** | Turn off to stop accepting new payments from this point of sale. | Unattended checkout A fixed amount plus a callback URL turns a printed QR code into a self-service checkout: parking, donations, set-price tickets. Print the code once — your system gets notified each time someone pays. See [use cases](https://docs.monei.com/payments/qr-codes-and-payment-links/.md). ## QR codes and permanent payment links[​](#qr-codes "Direct link to QR codes and permanent payment links") Each QR-type point of sale can have multiple QR codes. From the point of sale detail page you can: * **Generate codes** for different locations or displays. * **Download** each code as SVG or PNG (300, 500, or 1000 px) for print or screens. * **Copy the link** — each code has a permanent URL, `https://secure.monei.com/codes/{code_id}`. Opening or scanning it creates a payment at this point of sale. Share it by email, WhatsApp, or SMS, embed it on a page, or print it — the same code works as a QR and as a permanent payment link. If your account has a [custom domain](https://docs.monei.com/manage-account/customization/.md#custom-domain-steps), the link uses it. * **Enable or disable codes** without deleting them. A disabled code stops accepting payments until you enable it again. Unlike [Pay by Link](https://docs.monei.com/payments/pay-by-link/.md), a permanent payment link is reusable: it never expires and takes unlimited payments. ### Short links[​](#short-links "Direct link to Short links") Long URLs are hard to print and read aloud. From the QR code screen, create a short link — a compact `monei.me` address for the same code: * Choose a **custom slug** (for example, `monei.me/my-shop`) or let MONEI generate a memorable one. * A code can have one active short link at a time. * You can delete a short link at any time. Deleting is permanent — a printed short link stops working and the slug becomes available to others. [Pay by Link](https://docs.monei.com/payments/pay-by-link/.md#manual-payment) payments also offer a **Get short link** option; those short links use a random ID and expire with the payment. ### Branding[​](#branding "Direct link to Branding") Your **icon** appears in the center of each QR code, and your **primary color** styles the code and the payment page. Configure both in [Settings → Branding](https://dashboard.monei.com/settings/branding) — the icon must be a square image of 128x128 px. See [customization](https://docs.monei.com/manage-account/customization/.md). ## Segment payments and control access[​](#segmentation "Direct link to Segment payments and control access") Every payment created at a point of sale — or tagged through the API — carries its `storeId` and `pointOfSaleId`: * **Dashboard and MONEI Pay** payments inherit the store and point of sale of the user who creates them. * **API** payments carry the IDs you pass — see [assign payments to stores and points of sale](https://docs.monei.com/guides/managing-stores/.md). * **Filter and report**: the [payments list](https://dashboard.monei.com/payments) and [transaction history](https://docs.monei.com/manage-account/transaction-history/.md) filter by store and point of sale. Bind [authorized users](https://docs.monei.com/manage-account/accessing-your-dashboard/.md#users-roles) to a store or point of sale in [Settings → Users](https://dashboard.monei.com/settings/users) to restrict what they see. Scoped users only see tagged payments A user bound to a store or point of sale **only sees payments tagged with that `storeId` or `pointOfSaleId`**. A payment created without the matching ID is invisible to them. If you use scoped users, make sure every payment carries the right IDs — pass them in the API, or let the user create the payment in the dashboard or MONEI Pay, which tags it automatically. ## Common questions[​](#common-questions "Direct link to Common questions") ### Can I use stores and points of sale for online payments?[​](#online-payments "Direct link to Can I use stores and points of sale for online payments?") Yes. Stores and points of sale are a segmentation tool, not only an in-person feature. Pass `storeId` or `pointOfSaleId` [through the API](https://docs.monei.com/guides/managing-stores/.md) to group e-commerce payments by brand, site, or business unit. Standard e-commerce plugins (Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix) do not support these parameters — only custom integrations do. ### What happens when I disable a point of sale or a code?[​](#disable "Direct link to What happens when I disable a point of sale or a code?") It stops accepting new payments immediately. Past payments and reporting are not affected. Enable it again at any time — the printed QR codes and links keep working because the URL does not change. ### Can customers enter the amount themselves?[​](#customer-amount "Direct link to Can customers enter the amount themselves?") Yes. Set the payment flow to **Manual amount**: the customer scans the code, types the amount, and pays. Use **Fixed amount** when every payment must charge the same price.
