Individual items can be set to be taxable or not within the Item Catalog.

If enabled, the app will prompt for a Tip with the following options:
- Credit transactions - 3 default amounts, Custom, None

If disabled, the app will not prompt for a Tip, and proceed to process the transaction.
Offline Mode
Offline Mode enables capturing swiped or keyed payments without an internet connection.
Offline Mode is not compatible with dip (EMV) or tap (NFC) transactions.
Set a maximum amount for offline transactions when Offline Mode is enabled. Offline transactions should be used at the merchant’s discretion, as they are not approved or declined until network connectivity is re-established.
Transactions captured offline are saved until connectivity is regained and will automatically process when the mobile device goes back online and the app is opened. Only a maximum of 50 transactions can be saved.
Offline transactions stored on the device will expire after 30 days unless they are processed.
