Enable Tipping

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.

To enable tipping in addition to the sale:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. Toggle the Tip processing switch to the right.

  6. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 6 for each additional terminal where you want to enable tipping.


Preset Tip Percentage

When you enable tipping, the terminal automatically displays three preset percentages (default values are 15%, 18%, and 20%) as options to the customer. The customer can touch one of the preset values or manually enter an amount for the tip.

NOTE: If you want to allow your customers to enter a custom tip percentage, you must enable the manual tip percentage using the procedure.

To view the preset tipping percentages:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 6 for each additional terminal where you want to view the terminal's preset tip percentages.


Enable Manual Tip Percentage

When you enable tip processing, the terminal automatically offers preset percentage values to the customer. You can also offer the opportunity for customers to enter their own percentage value. By default, the manual tip percentage option is enabled on the terminal and applies automatically whenever you activate the tip processing option.

To enable the manual tip percentage option:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 6 for each additional terminal where you want enable a manual tip percentage.


Change a Preset Tip Percentage

When you enable tip processing, the terminal automatically offers preset percentage values to the customer. By default, the preset percentage values are set to 15, 18, and 20, but you can easily change one or more of these values as needed.

To change a preset tip percentage:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. Repeat step 7 for any additional percentage preset values you want to change.

  6. 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).


Change Tip Preset Text Size

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, as shown in the following examples:

Normal

Large

Very Large

To change the text size for the preset tip percentages:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. 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.


Enable Tipping Threshold

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.

To enable the tipping percentage threshold:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 7 for each additional terminal where you want to enable the tipping threshold.


Set Tipping Threshold

When you enable the tipping threshold, you can set a custom percentage as the value where the Merchant password is required. By default, the terminal set the threshold value at 50%, but you can adjust it if needed.

To change the tipping percentage threshold:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.

  5. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 7 for each additional terminal where you want to set the terminal's tipping threshold.


Disable Manual Tip Percentage

By default, the manual tip percentage option is enabled on the terminal and applies automatically whenever you activate the tip processing option; you can easily disable the function if needed.

To disable the manual tip percentage option:

  1. From the main screen, touch the Menu button.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. Scroll to the Tips section.
