2. Features and Procedures
2.3.6
Signatureless Transactions
A "signatureless" transaction is a swiped or tapped Purchase for which a cardholder signature is not required
because the Purchase amount is at or below the card's maximum
Signatureless Dollar Value
(SDV).
Depending on the card type and how your terminal is configured, receipts may or may not print for a
signatureless transaction.
Note: Signatureless transactions for swiped purchases apply only when a customer uses a
swipe-only card, not when the customer is instructed to swipe a chip or
contactless card.
Maximum Signatureless Dollar Value (SDV)
To determine the maximum SDV for a card,
print an EMV Parameters Report
Contactless CVM
Limit
parameter under the report's section for the card. An SDV of
9999
means there is no maximum limit.

Tip Processing
Tip Processing on the Vx810 Duet has a number of features.
Basic Tip Processing
You can configure the terminal to prompt customers for a tip amount on Purchase, Pre-Authorization
Completion and Advice transactions. If the customer enters a tip amount greater than 0, the amount is printed on
the receipt below the base amount. For tip amount entry by customers on receipts, Basic Tip Processing prints a
blank tip line below the base amount on Pre-Authorization receipts.
Note: Tip Processing is skipped on
Enhanced Tip Processing
This feature gives customers the option of keying in a dollar amount or a percentage when prompted for a tip on
Purchases. If a customer opts for a percentage, the terminal displays up to three pre-configured, selectable
percentage amounts. You can also configure your terminal to give customers a No Tip option.
Note: On Pre-Authorizations and Pre-Authorization Completions, Enhanced Tip
Processing works the same way as Basic Tip Processing.
Gratuity Guidelines
You can configure the terminal to print suggested tip amounts on the Merchant copy of Pre-Authorization
receipts. The tip amounts are calculated on the base amount using three pre-configured percentage amounts.
Tip Percentage on Purchases
You can configure your terminal to automatically add a pre-set Tip Percentage to all Purchase transactions. Tip
Percentage is calculated on the base amount and printed on the receipt.
Note: Tip Percentage is skipped on
IMPORTANT: On magnetic stripe credit cards, the tip is added automatically WITHOUT
customer acceptance.
