Why do I get a “Unable to Tip” message? 

In a small number of situations, a customer’s credit card may only have enough authorization room to process the original transaction, but not the tip. In this case, you’ll get a message in atVenu Register that says "Unable to Tip - $xx is the max amount allowed on card. Unable to tip"
