Performing a Sale with On-Receipt Tipping
This section describes how to perform a sale with on-receipt tipping and the required
follow-on tip adjust. After the original transaction is authorized, the customer writes
the tip or total amount on the printed receipt. A follow-on request is then sent to
capture the additional tip amount. This transaction is also referred to as an
overcapture
.The original transaction is performed as a pre-authorization. A follow-on tip adjust
request must be done within 24 hours in order to capture the transaction. For more
information, see Performing a Tip Adjust.
WARNING
By using this feature, you assume the risk of the
overcapture being declined and increased chargebacks. Only use this feature if required.
The recommendation is to perform a sale with on-reader tipping whenever possible. For
more information, see Performing a Sale with On-Reader Tipping.
