you are a legend for making this. My bar didnt teach me to pre auth, and when it was a busy solo night I would be SOL. This just saved me so much stress

Hey Phil,
Is it possible to put authorization code or pw on order discount option
Example if someone ask for discount and we tap on 5% i want it to ask for pw to go further

How do you add the tip to a pre authorization tab?

[@marisathom4226]

How long can you keep the tab open?

[@ManavDIY]

So pre-auth is basically opening new tab? Like when I go to bar they I ask for a beer and they swap my card. Next time when I ask for more beers they will add in my open tab.

Yes that is correct.

So I have a main clover device and then a mini connected to it. The mini is for guests. When I swipe a card on the main clover device I can preauth but how can then charge the preauth card to what they purchased and make the tip choices go to the mini. Currently I can not figure out how to make that happen.

@@phil312 Thanks Phil. Will this work for the register service plan? Or does the customer have to use Table service register or dining register?
