# Understand Tipping and Tippable Items on the POS

> Learn how tipping works on the Point of Sale (POS) and which items qualify for tips

### Enabling Tipping for Products

For a shopper to be prompted to leave a tip during a transaction, **tipping must be enabled** for the specific product(s) in their basket.

* You can set the **Tippable** attribute on a Product's Details Page or Department within the Vori Back Office.

**✏️ Note:** The tip prompt is calculated only based on the total value of items in the basket that have the Tippable attribute turned on.

* If a product is not marked as Tippable, its price will not be included in the calculation for the suggested tip amount.

### How the Tip Prompt is Displayed

Once a transaction is complete, the shopper display and the cashier screen will prompt for a tip amount, which is based on the total of **tippable items** in the basket.

* If the shopper pays with a credit card, the tip prompt will display on the **first credit/debit payment** made toward the order.

* **Subsequent credit payments** on the same order will not display the tip prompt.

***

### Tipping and Returns

Tips are returned to the shopper **only** in specific cases related to product returns.

* **Tips are returned** only when the **entire order** or the **entire list of tippable items** within that order is returned.

* **Partial tip returns are not supported** if only some tippable items from the original transaction are returned.

***

### Tip Payment Methods and Limitations

The POS system supports tips left via credit/debit card payments but has limitations on other payment types.

* **Cash tips** are handled outside of the POS system.

* The POS **does not support** tips paid for using **EBT** (Electronic Benefits Transfer) or **EBT cash** funds.
