Hi there

#

Just to confirm, does this mean you created a test mode PaymentIntent and were able to add a tip even though the capture_method was automatic? If so, could you share the PaymentIntent ID?

#

Yes, here's the payment intent ID: pi_3R6DghGSHfrL4SR902v0d0ez

Taking a look, give me a few more minutes

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as I have a workign Terminal integration currently. I wanted to let you know that I was able to replicate your behavior, seeing on-reader tipping even when using automatic capture.

This leads me to a question I have asked internally: Do we just need to update our docs or does it not work this way in Live mode.

#

I have raised this question internally and hopefully will have an answer for you shortly.

Thanks for stepping in and sharing your findings, I had similar thoughts when I noticed on reader tipping working with automatic capture. It does seem like there might be a discrepancy between the docs and the actual behavior

#

The docs direct you to create a Payment Intent with manual capture, but they don't explicitly say it won't work with automatic capture. Still, it should be much more clear.

Also, I hope that our docs are just out-of-date. It would be much worse if the Test mode behavior and Live mode behavior didn't match.

#

Fingers crossed it’s just the docs that need a refresh, automatic capture would make accepting tips so much easier for us

#

The engineers are taking a look but, at first glance, they don't think this is required for on-reader tipping. Still looking though

Okay I think we are aligned that manual capture is not required for on-reader tipping. Where it is required is for on-receipt tipping, because then you are attempting to capture more funds then the PI was auth'd for.

Thank you for clarifying, that makes perfect sense.
