QR Code Tipping Without a Purchase

[celebithaca]

I am looking for a way to offer customers a quick tipping option via a QR code that we can print out.  Would want the tips to show up on the tip line of our daily sales report so they are recorded with other tips from c-card sales.  This would need to be very easy for the guest..  Scan the code, choose the tip amount and pay with Apple/Google/C-Card, etc. and be done.  Does Square offer anything like this??  I see other tipping specific companies are offering this but would rather just do everything through Square.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you..

About us and how this would fit our business...  We host many weddings and private events where their is an open bar and the guests do not pay for drinks.  So many people do not carry cash anymore and are asking for an ATM or a way to tip the bartenders.  Our only solution now is to ring up a sale for $1.00 and process the payment and let the guest put a tip in.  Many people won't ask or let us run a small sale to tip from.  Would be soooo much nicer if the customer could simply do this on their own via a sign on the bar with QR code.  I believe our bar tenders are missing out on a lot of tips..

Hello, @celebithaca - Welcome to the Ideate board! 

Thank you for reaching out with your feedback and your innovative idea. We completely understand the need for a convenient tipping solution, especially in situations like weddings and private events where cash transactions are limited.

While Square doesn't offer a direct feature for QR code tipping without a purchase at the moment, your detailed explanation provides valuable insight into the need for such a service. Your scenario is well-understood. 

We would like to invite you to tag any other Square seller who may need this feature built out for greater visibility to our product team. Once we receive more feedback we will change the status of the post to reflect it's current state. 

In the meantime, your workaround of creating a nominal sale for tipping is practical, but we understand the desire for a more streamlined approach. Your feedback is vital, and it helps us shape our services to meet the unique needs of our users.

If you have any more ideas or concerns, please don't hesitate to share. We appreciate your business and your input!
