GratuityAmount Property

Gratuity amount for restaurant industry transactions.

Syntax

ptechretailcontrol.GratuityAmount[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the gratuity (tip) amount of the transaction. This property may be set in the PTechCharge control if you know the amount of the tip before the authorization. Otherwise, you may update the GratuityAmount property of the PTechDetailRecord control after parsing the detail aggregate returned from this control's GetDetailAggregate method. This amount is only sent when the PTechManualSettle control's IndustryType is set to "itRestaurant". If a transaction includes a GratuityAmount, the SettlementAmount must reflect the total of the originally authorized amount, plus the GratuityAmount.

This must be formatted as a dollar amount with a real decimal point, excluding the dollar sign. For instance "12.00"
