We are trying to implement creating an order that will use an external tender. We are trying to determine how we can update a tip when the order gets submitted via the server via an api call to update the tip. Based on the docs, "You can use the orders API to update a tip, or gratuity, amount in an existing credit card payment for an order." Is there a way to do this for an external Tender? All of the orders we will be creating will start with a 0.00 tip and will be added later.

  Hi Alex,

  Thanks for reaching out! When creating an order with an external tender, you will use “type”: “OTHER” within the payments array. Here is documentation on that piece.

  Later, when updating the tip, you can make a PATCH request to update the tip using the order GUID, check GUID, and payment GUID.

  Let me know if you have any other questions!

  Taylor,

  Thanks so much! We will definitely be trying that and hopefully we can get it to work. It was just a bit unclear about if this would work with other payment types.

  Cheers,

  Alex
