How to add tips at custom tender?

I created a custom tender and now I want to show a screen to add tips, but I don't know how. It doesn't appear by default, and when I trying to use an intent for that, I wrote:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intents.ACTION_ADD_TIP);
startActivity(intent);

but the opened window says: "All tips entered for All Employees" and a back button. What does it mean?

Thanks!

You want to show a customer facing screen? The Intents.ACTION_ADD_TIP is for employees to enter the tip written on a paper receipt by a customer. You are probably looking for Intents.ACTION_CUSTOMER_ADD_TIP.

You should use startActivityForResult and pass a long value Intents.EXTRA_AMOUNT. You will receive a long Intents.EXTRA_TIP_AMOUNT in the result Bundle.

Proper tips are not supported for custom tenders. You can start the tip UI, but this won't add the tip to the payment.

You can however, return an amount extra from your tender that's greater than the requested amount. This won't show as a tip on the payment or be considered in any sort of tip reporting.

Thanks a lot. Now I see. Maybe is there a way to add proper tips via REST API?

No, there is not an API to add tips, sorry.
