This feature gives your customers the option of entering a Tip on the terminal during a debit or credit Purchase transaction rather than leaving cash or writing the Tip amount on a Pre-Authorization receipt. Tip entry is generally used in service-based industries.
The Tip Entry prompt may be configured to appear only for debit Purchase transactions or for both debit and credit Purchase transactions. During Tip Entry configuration, you may enable a default Tip percentage prompt and/or the option(s) to enter a percentage or dollar amount Tip that is customer-defined.
Even if enabled, the cardholder's Tip Entry prompt will not appear during:
MOTO Purchase transactions because the cardholder is presumed not to be present for these types of transactions and, therefore, cannot key in a Tip amount.
Pre-Authorization transactions
Pre-Auth Advice transactions
Refund transactions
Void transactions
