FAQ
Can clients leave a tip while on autopay?
If you set autopay to Required, clients aren’t able to leave a tip since the invoice is set to automatic payments. To allow tips, please set autopay as Optional or Disabled.
Can clients who aren’t being invoiced leave a tip?
it isn’t possible for clients to tip within Dubsado outside of an invoice. If you want your client to tip, please create an invoice first.
Is there a way to collect a tip from an invoice that’s already paid?
After an invoice is completely paid in full, the invoice closes so clients can’t leave a tip. Please advise your clients to leave a tip when making a payment on the original invoice!
