Payments - Dip/tap for bar tabs
By October 15, cards with smart chips (i.e. EMV) can be dipped or tapped for running bar tabs instead of swiping magnetic strips for a faster, more secure experience. Instead of tapping, advise your staff to dip when to save time by auto-populating the tab with the cardholder's name.
Have card pre-authorization? Ensure dip/tap is turned on with these steps.
Don’t have pre-authorization? Select ‘Enable credit card pre-authorization' in the Payment Options menu.
Pro tip: Advise your staff to dip EMV cards when initiating a running tab. Dipping saves time by auto-populating the tab with the cardholder's name, while tapping requires manual tab name entry due to card brand security protocols.
Dip/tap tabs are not yet available for guest-facing display (Toast Flex for Guest) or dual readers.
