Collect tips/donations at the checkout

Learn how to add tips to the store checkout.

You can collect tips or donations in your store by enabling a specific section at the last checkout step:

To do so, simply send a PUT request with the JSON-formatted body. There, define the `tipsSettings` object with all the settings inside.

Request example:

PUT https://app.ecwid.com/api/v3/{storeId}/profile

{
    "tipsSettings": {
        "enabled": true,  //  must be `true`
        "type": "PERCENT",  //  `PERCENT` or `ABSOLUTE`
        "options": [
            0,
            5,
            10
        ],
        "defaultOption": 10,
        "title": "Support us with a donation",
        "subtitle": "We appreciate all donations, and even the tiniest bit helps us continue what we’re doing."
    }
}

You can specify one of the donation types:

• PERCENT to collect tips tied to the order total, for example, 10% extra tip

• ABSOLUTE to collect tips unrelated to the order total, for example, $15

The options array and the defaultOption are predefined values for the tip, and the title and `subtitle` fields describe why customers should leave a tip.

In response you’ll see `200 OK` HTTP status with the response body:

{
    "updateCount": 1
}

Which means that you’ve successfully enabled tips at the checkout.
