The prompts displayed by the Payment Terminal can vary depending on the card method used to pay for the transaction (Swipe, Tap or Insert).
Due to the wide range of Payment cards on the market, prompts may differ slightly from the below examples.

While the transaction is processing, the Payment Terminal will display "Processing Transaction".
Once processing has been completed, the Payment Terminal screen will show "Approved" and the sale will be finalised by Idealpos.

When paying for a sale using Tenerum via the Table Map function, "Capture Tips" will need to performed, regardless of whether or not the Customer has elected to include a tip with their payment.
This process can be performed any time after the sale has been completed, whether it be before the Clerk ends their shift or at the end of trade for the current period. This is entirely up to you and can coincide with your internal processes used in your venue.
As a pre-requisite to Capturing Tips, you will need to have a Capture Tips button on your POS Screen. If this has not been configured or created, please refer to the "Create POS Screen Buttons" on the Configure Idealpos for Tenerum topic by clicking here.
To assist with the Capturing Tips process, we recommend that you configure Idealpos to print multiple receipts when paying with Tenerum (i.e. a Customer Copy and a Store Copy).
We also recommend configuring the Receipt Footer so that a Tip section is included along with suggested Tip Amounts which will allow the customer to record their tip at the time of the sale.
For more information about configuring the Receipt Footer, click here
