  • This is the Customer Copy

  • Notice, there is no line for a signature

  The Merchant copy is the copy you need the customer to sign

  • In Order to ADJUST TIPS you need to go through the SoftPay screen

  • Once there, find a purple button on the left bottom of the screen that has a dollar sign and a plus sign

  • Push that button

  • The easiest way to retrieve the transaction is through the invoice number

  • Look at the receipt. The invoice number has 5 zeroes in front of it

  • You don’t need to put in all the zeroes , just the number at the end

  • So this is the invoice number two
