PRE-SALE GRATUITY
This option is provided for beauty salons and other businesses that wish to offer a tip option for
their customers. This feature allows the merchant to print a receipt that is separate from a credit
card sales transaction. It allows the customer to discreetly include a tip amount that can be added
to the final sales transaction. This function is not a credit card transaction, so it will not be stored in
your terminal memory or change the batch amount. After the customer adds the tip and provides the
final total sale amount, simply enter the amount as you would for any other sales transaction.
