Patent number: 11935016Abstract: In some examples, methods and systems generate interactive receipts with the option of a dynamic tip amount. The method includes determining at least one tip determinant based at least in part on the payment transaction, wherein the tip determinant is selected from a group of: the merchant; the customer; a payment object presented by the customer towards the payment transaction; a geographical location of a mobile device associated with one of the merchant and the customer; and a category of a merchant's item corresponding to the payment transaction. The method includes obtaining, by a dynamic tip generator, a tipping profile based on a history of tipping behavior associated with the tip determinant and generating, by the dynamic tip generator, at least one dynamic tip amount based at least on the tipping profile, which is presented to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventor: Adam Abrons

Publication number: 20220224309Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for integrating predefined templates with open ticket functionality. For instance, a merchant device can identify a type of transaction between a merchant and a customer, select a ticket type for the transaction based on the type of transaction, and select a transaction flow based on the ticket type. The merchant device can then generate an open ticket for the transaction based on the ticket type, and associated transaction flow with the open ticket. Additionally, the merchant device can generate a visual representation of data associated with the open ticket, where a layout of the data within the visual representation is based on the type of transaction and the transaction flow, and present the visual representation to the merchant. In some examples, the type of transaction is identified using received input. In some examples, the type of transaction is identified based on a group associated with the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Adam Abrons, Bruce Bell, Mathew Wilson, William Rocklin
