Tab Auth Set Up

  • Last Updated: March 22, 2021

Provide excellent customer service with the Tab Auth feature! Pre-authorize customer credit cards, process pre-approved tab transactions, and close tabs quickly and easily. Tab Auth is available for restaurants, including bars, lounges, and table service establishments.

  1. From Home, tap Settings.
  2. Click Register Preferences.
  3. Choose the Restaurant tab.
  4. Select Tab Auth.
  5. Fill in Min charge: This is a required field, and it is the amount that will be pre-authorized on the first credit card swipe.
  6. Fill in Max charge: When this field is filled out, Exatouch will send a pop-up alert at the register when the Max charge amount is reached. This is an optional field, and it will not prevent staff from dismissing the alert and continuing the order unless the As Limit checkbox is selected.
  7. As limit option: Select this field to restrict customer tabs at the Max Charge amount. When this option is checked off, Exatouch will prompt staff to close the tab once the Max charge amount has been reached. Staff will be unable to continue adding to the tab once Max Charge has been reached.
  8. Press Save.
