Abstract

A technique is disclosed for providing an interactive digital receipt on a user device, where the receipt offers transaction information associated with a financial transaction and one or more interactive components including an interactive tipping component that allows a customer to add a gratuity amount for the financial transaction. The interactive digital receipt is generated in response to an occurrence of the particular financial transaction. In one embodiment, the interactive tipping component is time-based and is associated with a timeframe that defines a time period for which the customer may submit the gratuity amount. Based on determining that no input to the interactive tipping component has been received within the timeframe, a payment is processed for a transaction amount and a default gratuity amount.
