Photo: SpotOn / Unsplash [Percent POS](https://giftcard.news/company/percent-pos/) has issued two September updates addressing gift-card tipping and balance errors at checkout. The vendor's release notes [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) describe an initial maintenance release dated September 4 and made available for download on September 8\. It corrects cases in which tips entered on the customer-facing second display were not deducted from a gift-card balance. The same release addresses an incorrect insufficient-funds response when a tip used exactly the value remaining on the card. It also fixes a gift-card tipping error associated with the Prompt Tip setting. A follow-up dated September 15, available September 16, tackles an identification problem when the same card is used through different input methods. Previously, a card loaded and validated by magnetic-stripe swipe could show an incorrect balance when subsequently scanned by barcode. That follow-up also corrects negative refund amounts appearing as zero in the interface. The notes describe a display correction and do not establish that the underlying amount was lost. Together, the changes address how cashiers and customers see and use available value across tipping, refunds and card-reading methods. Percent POS has not provided figures for affected installations or transactions, and the notices do not report financial losses or a security incident. ## In this article ### Companies * [Percent POS](https://giftcard.news/company/percent-pos/) ### Sources and documents * [\[S01\] Original primary announcement](https://percentpos.com/release-notes/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Percent POS Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fpayments-technology%2Fpercent-pos-gift-card-tipping-balance-fixes%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Percent+POS+fixes+gift-card+tipping+and+balance-display+errors&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fpayments-technology%2Fpercent-pos-gift-card-tipping-balance-fixes%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Percent+POS+fixes+gift-card+tipping+and+balance-display+errors+https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fpayments-technology%2Fpercent-pos-gift-card-tipping-balance-fixes%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/daniel-brooks-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/author/daniel-brooks/) Journalist — Payments, Security & PCI DSS Daniel Brooks covers payment networks, financial technology, payment security, gift card fraud and PCI DSS for Gift Card News.
