For some of the card processing systems integrated with Loyverse POS, there is the possibility to set up tips that the customers can add to the payments.

Currently, this functionality is available for SumUp, PayPal Zettle, Yoco, and KICC card readers. (For Yoco and KICC card readers currently only for iOS devices).

Setting up tips in the Back Office

You can configure the tips that will be displayed on the POS when you choose this payment method.

To do this, go to the Settings menu in the Back Office, click ‘Payment Types’ and then click on the desired card payment type.

You can also enable the option ‘Allow custom tip amounts’ that allows customers to choose a tip amount other than the predefined percentage values.

Selecting Tips during Payments

At the POS after selecting the card payment type, you will see the tips selection screen. The cashier can select the tip amount desired by the customer by selecting one of the predefined tip amounts in percentage (its actual value will be shown below the percentage).
