How to increase tip max limit

azpour103 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 20:50:08 GMT

With COVID-19 many businesses are struggling. A very gracious customer left a $500 tip on a $300 tab. Can square temporarily change the max tip amount to more than 50% or $200? It's rare that this happens, but during this time of uncertainty some people are doing whatever they can to help small businesses.

Can you guys please get on this. It's happened to us many times over the holidays. Once the guests is gone that tip is lost. If the guests wants to leave any excessive tip, we should be able to do so.

Thank you

Or at least give us the option to override or change the settings.
