Thanks for reaching out @SandyG1!

You should be able to set up and customize tipping preferences on your Square Terminal by following the steps below:

From the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, tap ≡ More.
Tap Settings > Checkout > Tipping.
Toggle on Collect Tips and select between showing your tip options on the signature screen or on a separate screen.
Choose Smart Tip Amounts or Set Percentage Amounts. See Step 2 for detailed information.
Choose to Allow Custom Amounts.

If Allow Custom Amounts is enabled and the preset amounts are all set to 0%, Square Point of Sale will hide these amounts and display only the Custom Tip Amount and No Tip options.
Choose to display a Separate Tipping Screen.
- If you choose to display a Separate Tipping Screen, your customers can select a tip after the payment has processed.
- If you opt not to display a Separate Tipping Screen, tipping options will be shown on the signature screen.

Please let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂
