POS Payment Settings

Use Payment settings to control tender entry, integrated card terminal connection details, gratuity prompts, and TapaPay terminal identifiers for this POS.

Payment settings explained

  • Require tender entry requires the operator to enter the tendered amount before completing payment. This overrides the tender-level setting for all tenders on this POS.
  • Payment terminal stores the payment terminal connection details for integrated card payments.
    • For a local terminal, enter the terminal IP address of the PED on the local network, for example 192.168.1.100.
    • For cloud relay, enter the S1F2-serial number, for example S1F2-000158250221711.
  • Ask gratuity prompts the guest for a tip when paying.
  • Terminal Id is the stored TapaPay terminal identifier linked to this POS.

When to change these settings

  • Change the payment terminal value when replacing, moving, or re-pairing an integrated card device.
  • Enable gratuity prompts only where the payment workflow and business policy require tips to be captured at payment.
  • Enable tender entry where cashiers must record the amount tendered before payment is accepted.

Only change payment terminal or TapaPay identifiers when you have the correct device details. Incorrect values can stop integrated card payments from reaching the payment device.
