Introducing Split Payments at Glownet POS
We’ve all been there. You’re at the front of a busy festival bar, ready to order a round for your friends, only to realize your RFID wristband is a few credits short. Usually, this means an awkward dance of stepping out of line, finding a top-up station, or fumbling with a separate credit card while the queue sighs behind you.
Not anymore. We are thrilled to announce that Glownet is officially introducing Split Payments across our Points of Sale. This update is designed to make transactions smoother, faster, and more flexible for both organizers and attendees.
💳 Ultimate Payment Flexibility
Our PoS systems now handle “Mix-and-Match” payments with ease. You no longer have to choose just one way to pay. You can now combine:
- Event Wallets / Wristbands
- Credit & Debit Cards
- Mobile Wallets (Apple/Google Pay)
- SoftPoS
- Cash
The “Zero-Balance” Hero: This is a game-changer for those leftover credits. If you have $4.50 left on your wristband but your drink costs $7.00, you can drain that remaining balance and simply pay the $2.50 difference with your card. No unnecessary top-ups, no wasted credits.
🍻 Group Bills, Simplified
Tired of the “I’ll Venmo you later” conversation? Glownet Split Payments now allow groups to share a bill across multiple guests or wallets.
If a group of four wants to split a large platter or a round of drinks, the vendor can tap multiple wristbands or cards in a single transaction. This allows groups to utilize balances spread across different accounts to close a payment instantly, without the headache of moving credits around or manually calculating who owes what.
🚀 Why This Matters
For Attendees
- No more “dead” credits: Use every cent on your wristband.
- Increased Spend: Less friction means higher conversion at the bar.
- Faster Checkout: No need to leave the line to top up a small balance.
For Organizers
- Shorter Queues: Transactions stay moving even when balances are low.
- Social Budgeting: Split the cost of high-ticket items instantly.
- Improved CX: A modern, flexible payment experience reduces guest frustration.
The Bottom Line
At Glownet, our goal has always been to stay behind the scenes so the experience can stay center stage. By removing the “insufficient funds” barrier and embracing the way people naturally socialize, we’re making the onsite economy more fluid than ever.
