# Tip Customization

Enable tip prompts on your Finix terminals to collect gratuities during the checkout experience. Whether you’re building a custom integration or using a plug-and-play terminal, Finix makes it easy to configure tip behavior that fits your business.

Tip customization is supported on all Finix-compatible terminals and can be managed through the Finix API or directly on the terminal or Dashboard.

### Configure Tip Settings Directly on the Standalone Terminal

#### Prerequisites
Before customizing tip settings, make sure:

- Your terminal is powered on.
- It’s connected to the internet.
- The Finix Payment App is open.

## Configure Tips on the Terminal
You can configure tips directly from the terminal:

1. Navigate to the **Settings** menu on your terminal.
2. Click on **Checkout**.
3. Find the **Tipping** section.
4. Choose your preferred setup:
   - **No Tip** \- Uncheck the two Tip related boxes
   - **Percentages** (e.g., 10%, 15%, 20%)
   - **Fixed Amounts** (e.g., $1, $2, $5)
5. Click **Save** to apply your changes.

### Fixed Amounts vs. Percentage-Based Tips
- **Fixed Tip Amounts** allow you to offer set dollar amounts (e.g., $1, $2, $5) based on an amount you set.
- **Percentage-Based Tips** calculate the tip based on the transaction amount (e.g., 10%, 15%, 20%).

## Best Practices
- Choose tip options that match your business model and customer expectations.
- Test tip flows in the **Sandbox** environment before deploying to production.
- Use the API for dynamic tip control—disable for wholesale transactions or enable for service-based transactions.
