# 3.4 BIND Rules

> **Note (Manual Import):** For photo-uploaded statements, additional constraints apply\
> (photo timestamp after check-in, within 300 m, ≤ 4-hour gap).\
> See [**3.2 Manual Import** ](https://docs.syfu.io/payment-data/manual-import)**→ “Manual Import BIND Conditions (ver.0.3.5+)”**.

**Core Principles**

1. **Sequence required**: Check-in → Payment → Data Import → BIND
2. Must be an **in-store (physical) payment experience**. Anything else is invalid.
3. Same store: Must wait **at least 4 hours** before re-check-in.
4. Invalid case: Attempting to BIND payments made **before check-in** (exception: same-day transactions with automatic import).

**Not Eligible (NG)**

* Online payments (Amazon, Uber Eats, etc.)
* Mobile orders with in-app payment (e.g., Starbucks app, McDonald’s app)

**Eligible (OK)**

* In-store face-to-face card payments (physical card, contactless, iD, QUICPay, etc.)
* App orders where payment is completed at the **cashier, kiosk, or POS terminal**

**Mobile Order & Takeout Rules** \
The **only valid criterion** is:\
\&#xNAN;**“Was the payment processed at the store POS (face-to-face)?”**

✅ Eligible (BIND allowed):

* Order via app → pay at store cashier upon pickup
* Self-kiosk or handheld POS payment in-store

❌ Not Eligible (BIND not allowed):

* Full in-app payments (pickup only, no cashier step)
* Table QR ordering with app-only settlement
* Delivery/aggregator platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.)
* Balance recharge (Pay apps, transit IC, gift cards)

👉 While there may be potential to expand support for online payments and aggregators in the future, the above rules are strictly enforced under the current system.
