It's important to note the following points before starting to code:
- Ensure that the site owner has installed Wix Tips
on their site.
- You can't delete the default tip settings that Wix Tips automatically creates
upon installation, but you can update them.
- For each
tipSettings object, you can configure up to 3 preset tip choices
that Wix Tips displays to customers during the
eCommerce checkout.
Additionally, you can allow customers to manually enter a custom tip amount.
- Tip: Details the tip amount, how it’s distributed among staff, and the
associated order’s line item subtotal. Refer to the
Tips API
for more information.
- Tip distribution: How the total tip is allocated among eligible staff.
You can split tips equally among staff or define proportional shares. The
business receives the undistributed tip amount.
- Tip settings: Allow you to customize how Wix Tips previews and calculates
tips based on various factors; including
business location,
external payment terminal used for the
eCommerce checkout,
product or service being purchased or which
site collaborator
manages the payment process via the site's dashboard.
- Staff: Team members receiving a portion of the tip. Currently, only
Bookings staff members
and site collaborators
are eligible to receive tip distributions. Refer to the
Tippable Staff API
for more information.
