Configuration of Tips in COVA
The first step is to reach out to COVA directly at 1-844-667-2682 (ext.1) to initiate the setup. They will walk through the steps on how to set up a Non-Stock SKU in COVA. This is similar to the process of Setting up Delivery for COVA Users. Note: if you are using both features, create a separate Master Product for each SKU: one for Delivery and one for Tips.
The tipping feature needs to be associated with a Non-Stock SKU in COVA to ensure POS communication with Buddi.
The price for this SKU should be set to the highest amount that you are willing to receive as a tip. It is basically a limit, so to play it safe, you can always set it high to ensure that you can receive any larger tips (ex. $500).
Here is some documentation to help you prepare for your call with COVA:
