The Tickets button will bring you to the ticket maintenance screen, where you can void a transaction, return an item, add a tip to a credit card sale (if applicable), reprint a receipt or an order ticket. 

Tickets Instructions

The computer will automatically load the sales from the current day. If you need to you can search for a ticket from another day. To search by date simply enter the date of the sale and select Find. You can also search by using the ticket number or part of the item description and selecting the Find button.

Tickets - Void Sale - Void Sale should only be used for invalid sales.

Note: This feature DOES NOT return money to credit cards for credit transactions. If you void a credit card transaction you will need to manually credit the card back through your credit card software. To avoid this, always use Return Item for credit transactions.

Note: Voiding a sale from a prepay customer will return the money to that customer. Voiding a received on account from a prepay customer will remove the money from their account.  


Tickets - Return Item - This feature allows you to return one item from a multi-item order. It also will return money in the same form as it was paid. This includes credit card transactions. Always use this option when returning items on a credit card transaction.

Accepting tips on credit card transactions - OR - on Account

NOTE: Tips must entered on transactions before closing your shift or settling your batch. If you do not enter your tips before settling your batch you will lose the tip, as it cannot be added on after a batch has been settled.  This includes when your processor is setup to auto-settle the batch at a specific time.

NOTE: Your credit card processor must supports tips and must be certified to run on the NETePay software, unless using one of our merchant processing partners, in order to take tips on credit cards.   

• From the Ticket screen select the Credit Card or Gift/Prepaid Card transaction to add the tip on.
  

Note: Select the Show Credit Card Only option to view only transactions completed as a credit card sale. 

• Select the Tip button.
• Enter Tip Amount
• The % amount of the tip will appear next to the dollar amount - this is a double check to notice entry errors by the user.  For example if the tip is $1.50 and the user enters $150 by mistake the extremely large % amount is an indicator a mistake was made.
• Select Authorize Tip Transaction
• If the tip is more than 20% a warning will appear giving the user to check the amount before proceeding.     

Note:  The value of the 20% can be changed with the Tip Greater Than Warning % system option.  See section Utilities | Setup | System Options | Credit Cards for more information.
