About

Cxbolt Payment App

Features
Read full description

Cxbolt Payment App turns your tablet into a full-service payment terminal for your business. Built for merchants on the Cobalt Payments platform, Cxbolt Payment App lets you take payments, manage transactions, issue refunds, and monitor your sales performance — all from a single app. Cxbolt Payment App is built exclusively for U.S. based merchants. It is not a consumer app and does not support in-app account creation. To use the app, you must have an active merchant account on the Cobalt Payments platform and sign in with your existing Cobalt / CXbolt gateway credentials. If you are not yet a Cobalt merchant, visit https://gateway.cxbolt.com/merchant/register to apply for a merchant account and begin the approval process. TAKE PAYMENTS: Enter a sale amount, present tip options to your customer, and charge their card through Cobalt's secure payment gateway. Every transaction is processed in real time with confirmation on screen. TIPPING MADE SIMPLE: Offer preset tip percentages or let customers enter a custom amount. A built-in confirmation prompt flags unusually high tips before they process, protecting both you and your customer from costly input errors. REFUNDS AND VOIDS: Issue a full or partial refund against any eligible completed transaction directly from the order detail screen. Need to reverse a charge before your batch settles? Void it instantly from the current open batch — no phone calls, no waiting. TRANSACTION HISTORY: Browse your complete transaction history with date, amount, tip, status, and source displayed for every order. Filter results to show only transactions from the device you are using, or view activity across all sources tied to your merchant account. BATCH MANAGEMENT: Review every transaction in your current open batch at a glance. When you are ready to close out for the day, settle the batch directly from the app with a single confirmation step. REAL-TIME DASHBOARD: See how your business is performing right now. Track total sales volume, order count, and average sale amount across five time periods: Today, Yesterday, Month-to-Date, Last 30 Days, and Year-to-Date. No refreshing, no waiting — your numbers update as transactions come in. EMAIL RECEIPTS: Send your customer a digital receipt by email immediately after a sale, refund, or void. Clean, professional receipts are generated automatically with full transaction details. WHO THIS APP IS FOR: Cxbolt Payment App is designed for merchants in retail, restaurant, bar, hospitality, and beverage businesses across the United States. Whether you run a single register or manage multiple locations, Cxbolt Payment App gives you the tools to process payments and track performance without the complexity of legacy point-of-sale systems. To use Cxbolt Payment App, you must have an active merchant account on the Cobalt Payments platform. The app authenticates against your existing Cobalt / gateway.cxbolt.com credentials. If you are not yet a Cobalt merchant, contact our team to get started. SECURITY All payment processing is handled through Cobalt's PCI DSS compliant gateway infrastructure. Card data is never stored on your device. Every transaction is encrypted end-to-end between your device and the processing network. SUPPORT Cobalt Payments provides full merchant onboarding, technical support, and transaction monitoring for all deployments. Reach us at support@cxbolt.com. Your privacy matters.
