# Pay Methods & Tips

There are now 3 different options for accepting tips in Impos.

1\. Do not allow tips on the payment method.

*Front office usage*

1\. If you have selected not to allow tips on the payment method and you have an order worth $4 and a payment of $5. The $1 remaining will be given as change back to the customer.

![PM5](https://knowledge.impos.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PM5.png?width=164&height=379&name=PM5.png)

If you allow tips on a payment method, every time you complete a payment with that payment method you will be prompted for tips.

![PM7](https://knowledge.impos.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PM7.png?width=401&height=401&name=PM7.png)

*If there is change due for the payment, it will be automatically entered into the tips pop-up. You are able to override this manually by selecting the numeric value that you prefer.*

![PM8](https://knowledge.impos.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PM8.png?width=164&height=379&name=PM8.png)

 

If you enforce tips on a payment method, you will not be shown the tips pop-up and all change for a payment processed with that payment method will be automatically processed as tips.
