Can I add a "Tip" option?

Good morning usersoulfriendsclean,

I hope your weekend is going well! This is an AWESOME newer feature that just got rolled out in the US QBO not too long ago, which hopefully makes it to Canada some time soon! There's been a lot of positive feedback since QuickBooks Online has a lot of service industry entrepreneurs that would really benefit from the extra generosity from their customers.

In combination with a Merchant Service account it really is a huge benefit to service industry QuickBooks Online users.

The best way to get a new feature added in QuickBooks Online is by submitting a feedback inside of your QuickBooks Online product. From there the engineers review and update as they see the demand growing for a specific need or want of a feature in QBO.

How do I submit feedback?

Let's hope to see this one is soon in our products because it would be awesome! I hope you have an awesome rest of the weekend.

Kindest Regards,
Lourdes Fernandez

Hi there usersoulfriendsclean,

Tips are an important portion of income for many businesses, so I know how crucial it is to have the correct steps to record those tips. While there isn't a specific feature or field built-in to QuickBooks Online for this purpose, there's a step-by-step process you can follow to set up tips. Let me go over this with you.

Recording the tips you and your employees receive starts with creating a specific liability account for Gratuity or Tips. Once that's done, you'll want to set up a Product/Service item to represent your Tips or Gratuity. You can then add this amount directly to your employee's cheque, or directly within a sales transaction. The full step-by-step guide for this process can be found in the article below:

• Share tips with your team

If your customer has overpaid on an Invoice and asks you to keep the extra as a tip, here's how to Record an invoice overpayment as a tip.

If you have further questions about this process, don't hesitate to reach out again here in the Community. I'd be happy to assist you should you need it. Have a great week!

Any idea when we will see Quickbooks catch up with other service providers to have a simple Tips option on the invoices that the CUSTOMER can choose to add a tip too?

Manually adding the tip as a line item ahead of sending the invoice is a laughable solution when so many other provides have this figured out. You can read countless threads in the community asking for this service over the last several YEARS and the same answer is provided: Fill in a feedback form and maybe someone will look at it. 

Hyper frustrating and a silly reason for Quickbooks to lose a bunch paying customers. 

Is there any timeline for Canadian users to have the option for tips for our invoices? 

Thanks for reaching out to us for updates with being able to add tips on QuickBooks Online invoices, @Cory Antrim.

We recognize the need to have the additional invoicing options and preferences. However, I want you to know that any changes in the program is released based on certain several factors. We're unable to provide the turnaround time on when new features are released in QuickBooks, since these are handled by the Developers Team.

5. Give the item a name.

@Jen_D  Is there any option now that provides adding tips to invoice in the line item except creating an item.
To prevent taxes appliance .

Hello Tarek. Thanks for joining the thread. I'll be glad to assist you. The options available are the ones already provided in this thread. You're welcome to leave feedback to our engineers for features you'd like to see in the program. New product enhancements are based on the valuable feedback we get from users like you. I'll be here in case you have other questions. 

I'm using the option that @Jen_D  provided. It is blocking , why ? 
I'm applying sales taxes to my invoice so I have to apply taxes for each line item but its not right to apply taxes on tips.
So how can I do ? do you have a solution ?

When you enter the tip as a service item, are you seeing different tax codes you can use such as Exempt etc.?
