Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for correlating tip amounts to merchant ratings. In a generalized method, a merchant tip amount may be entered via a user interface. Based upon the merchant tip amount, the system then determines a corresponding merchant rating. Accordingly, merchant ratings and tips are seamlessly integrated with one another.
