Help - Credit Card and Tips

Hi SambaPOS team,

I am trying to test and setup SambaPOS 2.99. I am new to this all, and I am trying to learn on the go.

My question: The credit card button - if I enter an amount more than the billed value it gives me a "change due..." message. I am wondering, shouldn't/can this be "Tip"? Is there anyway to make the "change due..." amount appear as "Tip" on the printed receipt?

Your help is much appreciated.

JohnS:
Yes you can, but remember that when you set it up to make Change Due for Credit Cards a Tip, you can not override it manually - you need to remove the Rules.


Create a Ticket Tag
- Name : Credit Card Tip
- Tag Type : Price
- Untick Free Tagging/Save Free Tags

Add Ticket Tag to your Department

Create an Action
- Name : Update Tips with CC Change
- Action Type : Update Ticket Tag
- Tag Name : Credit Card Tip
- Tag Value : [Tips]

Create an Action
- Name : CC Payment Selected
- Action Type : Update Program Settings
- Setting Name : CCPayment
- Setting Value : [Value]
- Update Type : Update
- IsLocal : True

Create a Rule
- Name : CC Payment Received
- Event Name : Payment Received
- Conditions - Payment Type = Credit Card
- Actions - CC Payment Selected - Value : 1

Create a Rule
- Name : Update Credit Card Tip
- Event Name : Change Amount Updated
- Conditions - Settings Check : {:CCPayment} != 0
- Action - Update Tips with CC Change - Tips : [ChangeAmount]
- Action - CC Payment Selected - Value : 0

Update your Printer Template with
<J00>Credit Card Tip|$ {TICKETTAG:Credit Card Tip}

Thank you JohnS  for the excellent step-by-step! Just to make sure, after I press Credit Card button on settling amount, it still gives me the red box with Change due... That is supposed to happen, right? I am guessing that is just hardcoded into the program?

My follow-up question: I have also followed your other guide on Printing Change Due & Amount Tendered on Receipt. It works great! Now, after doing this new credit card tip method, my receipt registers it in the change due section, as well. Is there anyway for the system to recognize that when I settle transaction with Cash, it will show extra amount in Change Due and when I settle with Credit Card, it will show in Credit Card Tip (which it does)?

Once again, your help and guidance is much appreciated.

JohnS:
The red change is hard coded so there is nothing that can be done for that.

I'll have a look at the Printer Template and Change Due Rules tonight for you when I get home.
We should be able to sort that out.

JohnS:
With your Rule - Update Credit Card Tip, add Action
Ticket Tag - Change Due, Value : 0.00

Make sure that this Rule is after 'Update Change Due and Tendered' Rule, or it will not work properly.
