Like this:

Your Base Search Here | eval label="Payment Methods" | contingency label "payment method" | search label!="TOTAL"

Set the visualization to Bar Chart and set the Stack Mode to the one on the right (stacked).

thanks for your reply. I tried this but 'Total' is coming as a payment method and adding up in the chart
