Tipping Behavior

Setting Behavior when ON Behavior when OFF
Optional Tipping Consumers are prompted to select a tip after a credit card payment is initiated. The payment terminal proceeds directly to payment authorization without displaying a tipping prompt.

Reporting

For tip-specific reporting, operators should use the following tipping reports:

  • Tip Summary
  • Tip Details

These reports provide the tip-specific information needed to review tipping activity. Only transactions with tips applied will appear (non-tipped transactions are excluded). 

For non-cashier-service locations, tipping data will not appear in Tip reports at all.
 

Calculating Tip Amounts

EFT Disbursement Reports reflect the total amount charged to the credit card. Operators must use other reports that show tips separately to calculate the tip portion for employee payroll and tax purposes.

  • Tax Reporting: Tip amounts should be reported separately for tax purposes because they are considered employee income.
     
  • Reconciliation: Use EFT Reports to verify the total funds received from the processor, then use Sold Details or Credit Transaction Report to review tip amounts.
