Description

The Tip addon adds a tip field to the BookingPress checkout flow, allowing customers to include an extra amount as a thank-you to the professional during online appointment completion. The component displays suggested amounts as percentages or fixed amounts configurable by the administrator, adds the tip to the total charged by the payment gateway, and records the additional amount in the appointment history for proper payout to the service provider.

Key Features

  • Tip field at checkout: inserts an extra amount selector in the final BookingPress payment step.
  • Configurable suggested amounts: lets you define preset buttons as a percentage of the service or as fixed amounts.
  • Custom tip: enables a free-form field for the customer to enter the amount they want to add.
  • Automatic total calculation: adds the gratuity amount to the appointment subtotal before sending it to the gateway.
  • Record in appointment details: saves the tip amount alongside the booking history for verification and payout.

Benefits of Tip Addon

  • Additional income for professionals: opens a direct gratuity channel within the same service payment.
  • Less friction in service: eliminates the need for cash or a new transaction after the in-person service.
  • Recognition for good service: encourages positive reviews and loyalty by giving customers a voice for their satisfaction.
  • Centralized financial control: keeps all received amounts in the BookingPress dashboard, without separate spreadsheets.

Who Is It For?

  • Beauty salons, barbershops, and beauty studios that already operate with online booking.
  • Spas, massage clinics, and wellness centers that value gratuities for attendants.
  • Independent professionals and service providers who receive bookings through BookingPress.

Recommended for service-sector establishments that rely on BookingPress to manage their schedule and want to offer a practical tipping option integrated into the appointment payment itself.
