Activate Classic - Adjust Tip for a Closed Check

Adjust Tip is a feature that gives users the ability to edit the tip amount when finalizing check orders with a Credit Card.

For Example:

You open a check order and add a tip when finalizing the transaction with a Credit Card. Later, you notice that you've added the wrong tip and want to change its amount. With Adjust Tip feature, you can adjust the tip amount on a check. 

When does Adjust Tip work?

• Adjust Tip only works for Check orders
• The feature is available for payments finalized with Credit Card, in online mode only

How does it work In Activate?

Once the original tip is added onto the check in the 'Pending Closed' state, it will have a large green check present in the orders view. This will indicate that the tip has been adjusted.

From here, the check will stay in the pending closed state for the time set in the Employee Role. This will give the ability to adjust the tip within that specific timeframe. Once that time has depleted, the order will automatically move from 'Pending Closed' status to 'Completed.'

1.  The check goes into a into Pending Closed State (After the initial tip adjust it will show a Green Check Mark)
