A tender represents a discrete monetary exchange.

Square represents this exchange as a money object with a specific currency and amount, where the amount is given in the smallest denomination of the given currency.

Square POS can accept more than one form of tender for a single payment (such as by splitting a bill between a credit card and a gift card). The tender field of the Payment object lists all forms of tender used for the payment.

Split tender payments behave slightly differently from single tender payments:

The receipt_url for a split tender corresponds only to the first tender listed in the tender field. To get the receipt URLs for the remaining tenders, use the receipt_url fields of the corresponding Tender objects.

A note on gift cards*: when a customer purchases a Square gift card from a merchant, the merchant receives the full amount of the gift card in the associated payment.

When that gift card is used as a tender, the balance of the gift card is reduced and the merchant receives no funds. A Tender object with a type of SQUARE_GIFT_CARD indicates a gift card was used for some or all of the associated payment.
