Heartland × PayDay Portal
If you take payments through Heartland, the tips coming in should leave through PayDay Portal — clean, pooled, and FLSA-compliant.
Heartland processes payments and runs POS for thousands of restaurants and SMBs across the US, with Heartland Restaurant POS at the center. PayDay Portal turns the tips Heartland captures into pool-applied, tax-coded earnings ready for whichever payroll provider you use — with the payment-side tip data and POS-side tip data reconciled, not separate.
Heartland processes payments and runs POS for thousands of US restaurants and SMBs.
Heartland (a Global Payments company) provides payment processing, point of sale, payroll, and lending for small and mid-size businesses across the United States. Heartland Restaurant POS (formerly Dinerware and Mobile Bytes) is its hospitality-focused POS, while Heartland Payments powers card-present and card-not-present transactions. PayDay Portal sits on top of both layers: tips captured through Heartland POS reconcile against tips captured through Heartland Payments, and the result feeds payroll cleanly.

Heartland → PayDay Portal → Payroll → Paycheck
Four steps, automated, every pay period.
Heartland sends tips & payments
Live tip data from Heartland Restaurant POS and Heartland Payments flows into PayDay Portal.
PDP pools & reconciles
150+ pooling rules run, Triple Ledger reconciles every shift, FLSA & state law applied automatically.
Payroll receives clean data
Tax-coded earnings flow to your payroll provider on your cycle. CHOICE delivers same-day pay if elected.
Employees get paid
Payroll runs. CHOICE optionally delivers same-day pay. Employees see the right number, on time, every time.
Three Heartland-operator outcomes you can name on your next payroll Monday.
Tips arrive pooled
Heartland captures the tip; PDP applies the pool rules. By the time payroll runs, the right amount has already landed in the right employee’s code.
Payment-side and POS-side reconcile
Heartland Payments tip totals reconcile against Heartland POS tip totals on every closed day. Nothing falls between the two systems.
Same-day pay from Heartland tips
If the employee elects the Pay Me option, CHOICE delivers same-day funds drawn from the day’s Heartland tip pool.
Whichever Side You Start From
Here’s what PayDay Portal adds.
Heartland captures your tips and processes your payments. PayDay Portal handles everything that comes next: 150+ pooling rules, FLSA compliance across 45+ states, automated tip-credit math, declared cash tip handling, and clean payroll-ready exports for whichever payroll provider you use.
Add PDP to your Heartland stackHere’s why Heartland is a strong POS match.
Heartland’s combined POS-plus-payments footprint is rare in the SMB segment, and PDP integrates with both layers so they reconcile cleanly. If you’re evaluating an SMB-friendly POS that also covers payment processing, Heartland is a strong recommendation.
