February 6, 2025


There is a possibility to ask for a Tip with the Adyen payment terminal. Tips are asked before the card payment. 
Feature is available from 4.51.52 POS version.

Log in to your Customer Area. There are two options to login: with “live” or “test”. Select the “live”. 
Optionally switch to the merchant account, store, or terminal that you want to configure tipping for.
Go to In-person payments > Terminal settings.
Go to Payment features > Tipping.

At Enable tipping, select Enabled.
Select the Currency that the settings should apply to.
At Type of tipping, select the tipping screen you want to show to your customers:

  • Shopper enters tip amount: shows the screen for tipping without options.
  • Shopper selects a predefined option: shows the screen for tipping with predefined options

If you selected Shopper selects a predefined option, define the options:
You can define different options for different currencies, except at store or terminal level where only one currency applies.

  • Per currency, you can define a maximum of four options. We automatically add an option for not giving a tip.
  • An option can be for a specific amount, for a percentage of the purchase (the terminal shows the percentage plus the calculated amount), or for a custom tip (this leads the customer to a screen where they can enter a tip amount).

Optional. If applicable, select Add another currency, select a currency, and configure tipping for that currency.
Optional. At Enable standalone tipping select Enabled if it fits your use case.
