Add a tip at checkout

When a client leaves a tip, you record it at the till. The tip comes on top of the total, shows separately on the receipt and counts separately in the daily sales.

How a tip works

• After the cart comes the Tip step, if the tipping screen is on under Settings › Sales › Tipping and your role may add a tip. Otherwise you go straight to the payment and cannot record a tip at the till.
• The buttons show percentages with the amount that goes with them. By default these are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. You set your own values in the tipping settings.
• The percentage is taken over the amount after discount. Whether that includes or excludes VAT, you choose under Tip calculation method.
• No VAT is charged on a tip.
• If you choose a percentage and the cart changes afterwards, Saloon works out the tip again. An amount of your own stays as it is.

Choose a tip in the Tip step

1. In the cart, click Proceed to payment. You arrive at Select tip.
2. Choose one of the percentages, or No tip.
3. For another amount, choose Custom tip. The Add a tip window opens.
4. Choose € for an amount or % for a percentage, fill it in and click Apply.
5. Click Proceed to payment. The tip shows in the summary and counts towards To pay.
