With a supported receipt printer, you can also print a receipt and/or kitchen ticket. After a payment completes, the final screen will read All Done.

Unlike credit cards, you can't spend money you don't have with a debit card. Therefore, make sure you know how much money is in your account before you buy something using your debit card.
