North American retailers (US and Canada) using the Retail POS app for iPad can have tipping functionality enabled to prompt customers to add tips on card-based payments and turn the register to the customer to enter a tip value.

Setting up tipping on the Retail POS app

Tipping can only be enabled by Retail Support on behalf of a retailer.

To have tipping enabled for your Retail POS store, use the Help function within your Retail POS store to contact our Retail Support team.

Processing a sale with a tip

1. On the Sell screen, add the products and customer details as normal, then select Pay.

Reporting on tips in Retail POS

There are two ways to report on tips in Retail POS. This can be done using the Sales report to see total tips collected within a given period, or manually through the Sales history to identify tips applied to individual sales.

To learn more about reporting on tips, refer to our How do I use Sales Reports for Integrated Credit Card Tip Reporting guide.
