# Top-up setup

> Create top-up stations and choose which payment methods staff can record for onsite top-ups.

**Top-up Setup** is where you prepare the places and payment options for onsite top-ups. Find it under **PLVR Tap** in the event sidebar. It only appears for events with PLVR Tap enabled.

The page has two tabs: **Top-up Stations** and **Onsite Payment Methods**.

## Top-up stations

A top-up station is a physical location where staff add funds to attendees' wallets, for example a main entrance or VIP area. Stations let you assign top-up staff to a location and track onsite top-ups by location.

The table shows **Name**, **Description**, and **Status** for each station.

### Add a station

**1. Click Add Top-up Station**

A **Create Top-up Station** panel opens on the right.

**2. Fill in the details**

* **Name** (required), for example "Main Entrance".
* **Description** (optional, up to 200 characters). Use it for instructions or location details.
* **Status** (required): **Active** or **Inactive**. It defaults to Active.

**3. Click Create Station**

The station appears in the table.

### Edit a station or change its status

* Click the pencil icon on a row to edit the name, description, or status, then click **Save Changes**.
* You can also change **Status** directly in the table.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Inactive stations are hidden in PLVR Onsite but remain available for staff assignment.

## Onsite payment methods

This tab lists the ways top-up staff can say the attendee paid, such as cash or card.

> [!WARNING]
>
> These options are used for reporting only and do not process payments. Take the actual payment with your own card terminal, cash, or other means.

### Quick add

Click one of the **Quick add** buttons to add a standard method: **Cash**, **Card**, **QR Payment**, **Bank Transfer**, or **Other**. A button disappears once that method has been added.

### Custom payment methods

To add your own method, such as Apple Pay:

1. Click **Custom Payment Method**.
2. Enter a **Name** (required) and choose a **Status**.
3. Click **Add Method**.

Each method is labeled **System** (the quick-add options) or **Custom**. Only custom methods can be edited with the pencil icon. For any method you can switch the status between **Active** and **Inactive** in the table.
