Which countries show the Quick Sale tip option?

Quick Sale works in all countries where Shopify operates, but tips are available only where Tap to Pay is supported:

If Tap to Pay isn't available in your country, then the tipping option doesn't display during a Quick Sale.

The Quick Sale help page, read October 10, 2026, lists 12 countries where the Shopify app offers Tap to Pay: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore (Android devices only), Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Tap to Pay requirements tie them to where your store is located.

In Belgium and Denmark, Shopify says Quick Sale can't be used for in-person retail if your business is in the food, beverage, hospitality, kiosk or grocery sectors, or other applicable sectors determined by local laws.

How do you turn on tips for a Quick Sale?

Shopify's changelog announced tips for Quick Sale on December 10, 2025. They're off by default, and once enabled they stay on for later Quick Sales until you turn them off.

To enable them before you take payment, start a Quick Sale, then tap the More Actions icon, then Tips, then Enable tips and Done. Your customer then picks from three presets plus two options you can't hide:

  • Three presets, 15%, 18% and 20% unless you change them, in the order you set
  • Custom
  • No tip
Your customer taps your phone
Your customer chooses the tip on your device. Shopify's Quick Sale help recommends Require FaceID to exit; check it before your first sale with tips.

How do Quick Sale tips differ from Shopify POS tips?

Everything above covers Quick Sale in the Shopify app; Tap to Pay in Shopify POS is set up separately, and POS tipping has its own rules.

POS tips work only for credit payments through a supported card reader; Shopify's POS tips page names five (Tap & Chip, Chip & Swipe, Chipper 2X BT, WisePad 3 and Shopify POS Go) and doesn't mention Tap to Pay. You set up to three preset tip amounts plus custom tips (see tipping in daily POS workflows).
