Sale/Add Tip Transaction Type
The sale is captured immediately after running the card, and adding a gratuity is optional. If a gratuity must be added, login to the POS and press the Credit Cards button on the right. Select the Sale transaction from the list or enter the transaction id as printed on the signature slip. The payment processor's web portal refers to the ADD GRATUITY transaction as an ADJUST transaction.
Note: If a mistake was made when adding the gratuity, follow the same procedure to add a tip again. The original gratuity value is overwritten by the new gratuity value.
Print Signature Slips: AmigoPOS is capable of printing signature slips directly to your receipt printer. AmigoPOS will only print signature slips when a response indicating a successful transaction is received from the payment processor
Print Copies: One signature slip is printed automatically for transactions (with the ability to reprint a signature slip by pressing the Reprint button). If additional slips are required, select the number of copies from the drop down list. i.e. selecting '1 Copy' will result in 2 signature slips being printed when the transaction is processed.
Correcting Mistakes
If an incorrect gratuity amount is entered when adjusting a sale transaction, run another Add Tip transaction for the correct gratuity amount. The original gratuity amount will be replaced by the new amount.
