secupay Payments Glossary

We explain payment terminology from A to Z, including accounting and payment methods.

Tip function

The tip function refers to an option on card readers, that allows the customer to add a tip directly during the payment process. The desired amount is entered after the bill total, then processed as a single transaction and separately shown on the receipt. This feature is commonly used in the hospitality industry. It ensures a seamless payment process without the need for additional cash.
