You can configure your terminal to add a tip to the total sale. You can also configure cashback options for debit transactions (if supported). The topics covered in this section include:
If your business includes the option to tip, you can enable tipping on the terminal, where the customer can add a tip value in addition to the sale. By default, tipping is disabled on the terminal.
NOTE: When you enable tipping on the terminal, customers can always enter a manual tip amount in dollars and cents, regardless of any preset percentage values.

Repeat step 7 for any additional percentage preset values you want to change.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 8 for each additional terminal where you want to change the preset tip percentage values.
NOTE: If you have multiple terminals, you should ensure that they are all configured to offer the same preset tip percentages to avoid one terminal displaying different tip percentages from the other terminal(s).
When you enable tip processing, the terminal automatically offers preset percentage values to the customer. By default, the preset percentages use the Normal text size to display the values, but you can choose to use Large or Very Large text to suit your requirements.

If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 7 for each additional terminal where you want to set preset tip percentage text size.
There can be situations where your customers may accidentally enter a manual tip percentage incorrectly and leave a larger tip than planned. By default, the terminal enables a tipping threshold that requires the Merchant password for any tip over 50% of the initial sale amount (for example, a $55 tip on a $100 bill). You can disable or adjust the threshold value if needed.
NOTE: The tip threshold feature is designed to protect the customer and the merchant by ensuring that the customer is aware of the generous tip they intend to leave, which prevents the possibility of a future chargeback.
