Tipping can be set up in two different ways depending on preference. The first is by having a prompt on the credit card terminal asking customers if they would like to tip. The second is to have a set up in KORONA with an account for your tips for dollar amount suggestions or percentages.

Prompting Tips On Credit Card Terminal
To get a prompt on your credit card terminal asking customers if they would like to tip, you must activate this option on the credit card terminal itself. Your credit card payment processor can enable it.
If you need your processor’s contact information, you can use this link to see if it is listed: Payment Processor Contact Info.
Once tipping is enabled on the credit terminal, navigate to Settings > Payment Methods in your cloud account and select Credit. Next, under Service Parameter, enter ‘tips‘ and click ‘Save’ at the top.
