Tips can be enabled in the Payment Media screen in Fore! Sell. Open the Payment Media screen and make sure the Tip payment media is active. The Tip media button will be added to the Payment screen, but a low Report Order number will move it to the bottom of the list.
Processing debit transactions with tips is the same as processing a transaction without tips, except for one extra step in the procedure above between 7 and 8:
The pin pad will ask how much of a tip to add to the transaction and the customer would type in the amount of the tip and press OK,
Proceed to step 8.
Tips entered in the debit machine appear under the Tip column in the Reprint/Tips tab in the shopping cart. In the tip screen the tip shows under the Debit payment media. On the variance report the tips show in the Debit payment media. If cash out is checked for Debit, tips are subtracted from cash on the variance report.

After setup or any successful Key Change, the first couple of transaction might fail with an error like 899/94, which means Decline but retry. It is normal for the first three transactions to fail. If more fail, make sure the sequence number is correct.
If a transaction is approved, two debit receipts will print and then the GolfNow Reservations itemized receipt. The sale will complete and the shopping cart should be empty.
If a transaction is not approved, one debit receipt will print with an error on it. The sale will not complete and the shopping cart will still be open with the sales items in it. Click OK to try to complete the sale again.
