Including tip amount in an Order

I'm having trouble using the Square Connect API. I need to add the amount for tips but I don't see a place where I can do that in the Transaction Charge endpoint neither in the Order CreateOrder one.

The only place that tip is mentioned is in the Tender object, property tip_money, but we can't send a Tender when creating a Transaction or Order.

Have anyone ever implemented this using the Square Connect v2 API? We're developing an app using a completely customized UI so we can't use webviews from Square or anything.

Thanks a lot.

Solution

  • Currently you cannot add a tip through Square APIs. The only way to add a tip is when taking a payment through the Square POS application, if you have tipping enabled. When you do take such payments, they will show up in the Tender object (which is a part of a Transaction) as you found.
