How to Use your Yoco Settings

Find out what information lives in the Settings tab and how you can make changes to it.

Once you've signed up with Yoco and completed your Yoco profile, the details you've provided are stored in the Settings tab in the Yoco App (mobile or web).

Top tip: You'll find your Settings tab at the bottom of the menu in the Yoco Web App, or in the top right corner of the Yoco Mobile App.


The Settings tab is divided into five sections that you can access directly by using the tabs below your business name.

1. Business details

💡 How the cash toggle works

The cash toggle in the Yoco App (mobile or web) lets you turn cash payments on or off for your whole business – and whatever you choose applies across all your devices.

→ When cash is toggled ON in the Yoco App

  • Cash appears as a payment method at checkout on your point of sale (Counter or a tablet running the Yoco POS APP) and card machines (Khumo, Khumo 2, Khumo Print, Khumo Print 2, Neo Touch).

  • You can still turn cash off and on as a payment method on any of your card machines.

→ When cash is toggled OFF in the Yoco App

  • Cash won't show as a payment method at checkout on your POS (Counter or a tablet running the Yoco POS APP) or card machines (Khumo, Khumo 2, Khumo Print, Khumo Print 2, Neo Touch).

  • You can't override this setting on your card machines.

Please note:

  • Cash can only be enabled as a payment method by staff members with the 'Manage business settings' permission selected in their profile. Click here to find out about managing staff profiles and permissions.

  • Cash payments are, by default, toggled 'on' in the Yoco App (mobile or web) and toggled 'off' on the Neo Touch.


Receipt settings


The Yoco receipt you send your customers after a successful payment displays your logo, basic business details, bank details, and social media handles. The Receipt settings tile/widget in the Settings tab lets you preview your receipt and customise some of your receipt settings.

Find out how you can customise your Yoco receipts – and update them whenever you like.


Tip settings
