# About the Tippable Staff API

The Tippable Staff API allows you to retrieve information about which
business staff members are eligible to receive tips via the
[eCommerce platform](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/what-is-the-wix-e-commerce-platform.md). Currently, the API only supports 
staff members from [Wix Bookings](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-bookings-about-wix-bookings)
and [site collaborators](https://support.wix.com/en/article/inviting-people-to-contribute-to-your-site).

With the Tippable Staff API, you can:
+ Use custom filtering to identify staff members eligible to receive tips via the eCommerce platform.

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

+ Ensure that a site has installed [Wix Tips](https://www.wix.com/app-market/wix-tips). 
  Wix Tips is automatically installed with every
  [Wix Bookings](https://www.wix.com/app-market/bookings) installation.
+ Currently, only [Bookings staff members](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/staff-members/introduction.md)
  and [site collaborators](https://support.wix.com/en/article/inviting-people-to-contribute-to-your-site)
  can receive tip distributions.
+ Not all staff members have a Wix user identity, and not all site collaborators qualify as staff members.

## Sample use cases

+ [Implement a staff performance dashboard](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/other-services/tips/tippable-staff/sample-flows.md).

## Terminology

+ **Tip**: Details the tip amount, how it’s distributed among staff, and the
  associated order’s line item subtotal.
+ **Tip distribution**: How the total tip is divided among staff. The business
  receives the undistributed tip amount.
+ **Staff**: Team members eligible to receive a portion of the tip. Currently, only
  [Bookings staff members](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/staff-members/introduction.md)
  and [site collaborators](https://support.wix.com/en/article/inviting-people-to-contribute-to-your-site)
  are eligible for tip distributions.
  + **Bookings staff member**: A business resource used to manage and provide
    services through Wix Bookings. Manage staff members, see via the
    [Bookings Resources API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/resources/resources-v2/introduction.md).
  + **Site collaborator**: A Wix user authorized to edit or manage the business
    website.
