Deduct Fees from Tips/Add Fees to Suggested Tips

  • Last Updated: August 2, 2024

We’ve made it easier to manage tips. Merchants can now adjust cash, credit, and debit tips using the Deduct Fee From Tips setting (Dual Pricing program only) or Add Fee to Suggested Tip setting (Dual Pricing and Reverse Cash Discount programs). These settings address admin fees and price increases on suggested tips.

Merchants participating in the Dual Pricing program can deduct credit and debit fees from staff tips by enabling the Deduct Fee From Tips setting. Dual Pricing must also be active to enable Deduct Fee From Tips.Register preferences screen with add fee to suggested tip and deduct fee from tips settings highlighted
