Tips¶
Tipping is customary in multiple countries. Point of Sale allows tipping in shops, bars, or restaurants.
Configuration¶
To allow tipping in your POS, activate the Tips feature in . At the top of the page, select the POS in which you wish to allow tipping, scroll down to the Payment section and check Tips. Once enabled, add a Tip Product in the corresponding field, and save. The designated product will be used as a reference on customers’ receipts.
Tip products¶
Tip products can be created on the spot. To do so, enter a product’s name in the Tip Product field and click Create or press enter. The product is automatically configured to be used as a tip at the payment screen.
However, if you wish to be able to select the tip product in a POS session, you must activate the Available in POS setting. To do so, click Create and edit… to open the product configuration form. Then, go to the Sales tab, tick the Available in POS checkbox, and click Save & Close.
Note
When you create a product to use as a tip, leave the product type as Consumable to avoid unnecessary inventory movements.
You can only select one tip product per POS, but you can choose a different one for each.
Tip after payment¶
If you use a POS system in a bar or a restaurant, you can enable Add tip after payment (North America specific). Doing so generates a bill to print and complete manually by the customer and the waiter. That bill indicates the tip value the customer chooses to give after the payment.
