Tips and the cash discount

Tips

Turn on Take tips at the register in Register settings. You can set up to three suggested percentages, which start at 18, 20 and 22. The register panel then shows Tip on this payment with None, your three suggestions with their dollar amounts, and a custom amount.

• Each payment has its own tip, so people splitting a bill each choose theirs.
• A percentage is taken on the pre-tax share of the amount being paid. Tips are not taxed.
• Customers paying by QR code can add a tip on their phone.
• Tips are not offered when collecting on an existing invoice.

Cash discount

Set Cash discount (percent) in Register settings to reward customers who pay cash. Zero turns it off. The maximum is 20 percent.

• It applies only to cash payments, and only to the cash portion of a split sale. It does not apply to check, card or QR payments, or to collecting on an invoice.
• The discount comes off the price before tax, and the tax is recalculated on the lower price.
• Tips are never discounted.
• The register shows the cash price and the amount due, and the receipt has a Cash discount line. The Sales page reports the discount totals.

This is a discount for paying cash, not a surcharge on cards. Card brand and state rules differ, so check them before you advertise it. Card surcharging is not part of PayMidWare.
