Tip Prompt Formats: Terminal

Tip Prompt Format	What Happens During a debit/credit Purchase	Actual Tip Prompt/Screen on Terminal
TIP BY PRE-SET PERCENT	The cardholder will be prompted to enter the tip as a pre-set percentage. (This assumes you have configured one, two, or all three of the pre-set tip percentage options above.) The first pre-set percentage is already highlighted. To accept it, the cardholder can simply press the key. To choose a different pre-set percentage, the cardholder presses the number on the keypad corresponding to their choice of tip. Or, they can scroll down to the desired choice and press the key. If the cardholder selects OTHER, they will see one of the prompts below depending on the configuration of the tip entry format. If the cardholder decides not to leave a tip, they can press the key to return to the ADD TIP? prompt.
TIP BY $ AND %	The cardholder will be prompted to enter the Tip as a percentage value or as a dollar amount. The cardholder must choose one of the two options, PERCENT or AMOUNT. The cardholder can not press the key to bypass entering a Tip at this prompt. However, they can press the key to return to the ADD TIP? prompt.
