## 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
