A Transparent and Customizable Experience

The process is straightforward – customers enter the bill amount into the Pesapal Sabi PDQ, tap the ‘TIPS’ option on the POS display, and proceed to authorise the transaction through secure verification methods. The system generates three receipts for transparency, providing tangible evidence of the transaction. This transparent approach enhances the overall customer experience and ensures that the tipping process is secure and verifiable.

Businesses can customise Pesapal Tips through the merchant dashboard, tailoring tipping options to their specific preferences. This includes defining tip rates as a percentage of the total sale amount. The flexibility to customise tipping settings allows businesses to create a seamless and secure tipping experience, ensuring satisfaction for both customers and service personnel.

Embracing Contactless Gratitude

With the increasing prevalence of contactless payment methods, Pesapal Tips eliminates the frustrations associated with cash transactions for tipping. Customers no longer need to worry about carrying cash to express their gratitude, and service personnel can receive their tips quickly and safely.

The Pesapal Tips feature on the Pesapal POS is designed to benefit various service personnel, including cashiers and waiters. The process begins when a customer expresses interest in leaving a tip for exceptional service. The waiter, armed with the Pesapal Tips option, guides the customer through entering the bill amount into the Pesapal Sabi PDQ and tapping the ‘TIPS’ option on the display. The customer can then authorise the transaction through secure verification methods, ensuring a seamless and secure tipping experience.

Upon successful authentication, the Pesapal Sabi PDQ generates three receipts – one for the merchant, one for the customer, and one for the cashier. These receipts provide a comprehensive record of the transaction, displaying the bill charged, the total amount, and the tip amount. The transparency of this process enhances the trust between customers and service personnel.

The Impact of Pesapal Tips

Pesapal Tips not only transforms the tipping experience for customers but also ensures that service staff receive their well-deserved tips in a timely manner. As part of the process, the accumulated tips are disbursed via M-PESA or Openfloat to the phone numbers indicated on each transaction. This innovative approach enhances motivation and job satisfaction among service staff, creating a positive impact on the overall service industry landscape.

Pesapal Tips signifies a new era of gratitude, empowering customers to acknowledge exceptional service even when cash is not readily available. The feature’s integration into the Pesapal Sabi POS machine ensures a seamless and secure tipping experience, setting a new standard for service excellence in the digital age. As businesses embrace this innovative solution, the service industry is poised to experience a transformation where gratitude meets innovation, creating a win-win situation for both customers and service personnel.
