Abstract

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