# Prompting and Collecting Tips
## Tip Menu

Here you can select the percentage of tip to be applied, under there is a tip adjust (half moon button), if the terminals support tip prompting there will be dedicated terminal buttons to send the tip prompt to the terminal, and then there is a tip prompt button (windows button), which will show an in app tip prompt. Tips as calculated and assigned per tippable items (services), but manually you can set any tip amount by entering it directly in the tip input area
## Tip Prompt
In the POS there is an option to show an on screen tip prompt which will show the cart total along with the items being sold, with large buttons selecting the tippable amount to be applied. To access this prompt press the window buttons in the Tip section
## Tip Adjust
If you need to collect a tip for a staff/provider without selling a service or product, SimpleSpa has a tip adjust line item that can be added to your cart. This is a 0 value item that you can assign a staff, and under set the tip amount, to add this item press the "Half Moon" icon, and then set the tip amount directly, i.e. in the cart under the tip adjust has been added and the tip amount is set to 25.00

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.simplespa.net/simplespa-documentation/fundamentals/pos/common-checkouts-and-tutorial-walkthroughs/prompting-and-collecting-tips.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
