SMS Tipping

To prompt clients for tipping through SMS, it is necessary to activate one or both of the "Request tips via SMS" options that align with your business requirements. In this article, we will walk through both options. 

Things to know:

  • Tip-related SMS messages are sent 5-10 minutes before the scheduled appointment, ensuring that clients are informed in advance about the option to leave a tip via text after their appointment concludes. This proactive approach allows clients to be aware of the tipping process, enhancing convenience and providing a seamless experience.
  • Clients are granted a 3-hour window post-appointment to submit their tip via text
  • Tips submitted via SMS are factored into your SMS billing. This means that any text messages related to tipping will contribute to the overall SMS charges associated with your account.
