Working with tips
For the Payment methods, if the Credit Card Tips setting is enabled for your store in the Back Office, you or your customers can add a tip to a credit card (not a gift card) sale. If you enter a tip amount that is more than the ticket's total, the system will alert you about incorrect amount entered.
