Customize the tipping options displayed on your readers.

You can use [on-reader tips](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/collecting-tips/overview.md) to display suggested tip amounts on the reader before customers present their payment method. We support the following on-reader tip types:

- **Suggest smart tips**: The reader dynamically displays three percentages or amounts, depending on the size of the pre-tip amount.
- **Suggest percentages**: The reader displays three percentage-based tip amounts.
- **Suggest amounts**: The reader displays three tip amounts.
