Tips

Summary

Add or manage tips during checkout, so gratuities are collected clearly and reflected correctly in the payment flow.

Before you begin

  • Make sure tip collection is enabled for the location or payment flow
  • Confirm the user has access to payment actions
  • Check whether tips are handled before, during, or after payment in the service process
  • Make sure the team understands the restaurant’s tip policy

Steps

  1. Open the order that is ready for payment.
  2. Start the payment flow.
  3. Review whether tip options are available in the checkout screen.
  4. Add or select the tip amount based on the guest’s choice.
  5. Confirm the updated total.
  6. Complete the payment.
  7. Check that the final transaction reflects the correct tip value.

Troubleshooting

  • Tip option is missing: Confirm tip handling is enabled for the location and payment setup.
  • The total looks wrong after tip: Review the selected tip amount before confirming payment.
  • Staff skipped the tip step: Recheck the payment flow and train the team on the correct process.
  • Guest wants to change the tip: Follow the allowed correction process before finalizing or closing the transaction.
  • Tip reporting looks unclear: Review transaction details and reporting setup.
