How do I change the "tip percentage" to "dollar amount" on checkout

[BryceTheClimber]

If I go to Settings/Checkout/Tipping I have options to set the default tip as a percentage.
Is there anyway to do this with a set dollar amount?

hi, did you find out how to do this?

[ChrisBeattie]

I tried to change it from {{ tip_percent }}% in languages to {{ tip_amount }} but it didn't work.

It cannot be done. Changes to the checkout pages are blocked for security/conistency, other than some basic text changes via the languages option.

By default there is an option to enter a custom amount after the percentage boxes, but you probably already found this option.

Anyone found any other solutions to this? Particularly a minimum amount? Thanks.

We need this too, but since it is not possible to change the percentage to fixed amounts we are going to create a new (hidden) product (Donation of $5) that is not visible in any collection in the store.

Next we will offer this product in the shopping cart, so that visitors can add it to their shopping cart from there.

Hope this is helpful for anybody.

Hi, thanks for replying. How are you going to offer the product in the cart? Is there a way other than through an app? Will taxes or shipping costs apply? Thanks!

[jeroenberg]

I prefer not to work with apps if not necessary. We added the product manually to the cart, similar to this:

<form method="post" action="/cart/add">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
<input min="1" type="number" id="quantity-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" name="quantity" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Add to cart" class="btn">
</form>

We do not work with taxes, but I guess you could make an override for that product (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/taxes/tax-overrides). Same for shipping.

Please note this might not be the cleanest way to solve this issue, but it works for us. Also as we have control over the design and way we highlight the donation option in the store.

(It's not online yet otherwise I could share the link)

Same issue here, I would like to setup a tip a checkout option for free download products, hence having a percentage is completely irrelevant... Can shopify please make this tiny change ? thanks
