Setting up Tipping Options on Your Shopify Store

Give your customers the option to add a tip as they check out. Online tipping can be customized to support your business, tip delivery drivers in advance, raise money for a charity, and more. Tips can be calculated as a percentage of the order total or as a custom amount. There are some considerations to keep in mind when adding tipping options to your Shopify store:

• Tipping options from your Shopify POS do not carry over to your online store. Tipping must be setup through your Shopify admin in order to appear in the online checkout.
• Percentage-based tips are calculated on the cart’s subtotal which does not include taxes or shipping. However, tips are subject to credit card and/or transaction fees since they contribute to the order total.
• Shop Pay does not allow customers to add tips to their orders.

Set Up Tipping Options from Your Shopify Admin

You can create up to three tipping options that are a percentage of the order’s subtotal. Alternatively, customers can add a custom amount.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Checkout.
2. In the Tipping section, check Show tipping options at checkout.
3. Under TIP OPTIONS, enter a value in percent in the Option fields. You can add up to three different values.
4. Click Save.
