Tip Fee Setup

Tip Fee Setup

This article explains how to set up a tip fee, it function, and where it is reported. 

To set up we first want to create a "Tip Fee" percentage. To do this we are going to go into set up then payment setup and then payments. 

Then select the payment you would like to apply the tip fee towards. Most cases it will be the credit cards or Chipper payment, but if they have multiple card payments it will have to be applied to each one to reflect accurately. In this case we have "chipper" as our payment and it should bring you to a screen that looks like this:


In the Box labeled "Tip Fee" in the top middle of the screen you can enter in a tip fee amount. It is in percent already so for a 2.5% fee you need to enter "2.50" into the box. 


Then we need to go into Check out setup so go into setup then system preferences then Check out set up.



It should bring you to a screen that looks like this: 


In the box on the bottom of the screen you can set a "Tip Fee Text" which is just the title of the percentage that will show up on the check out receipt printed out. 


With these 2 settings completed the tip fee will now automatically be pulled from the payment method you configured and be reported on the check out receipt and on he Daily Sales Report. 

Additionally, you can see the total amount of tip fees collected in the daily sales report. It will be in the "Accountability" section, labeled "+Tip Fee Income". It should look something like this:
