The new payment vendor Shift4 was added and supports all current features (payment, refund, cancel) including the new payment vendor provided tip.

Now supported payment vendors:

Payment vendor provided tip support across payment providers​

Tips entered directly on the payment terminal are now reported back to the POS in a consistent way with all current supported payment vendors.

NOTE: To really use this fetaure, TIP support must be activated in most of the payment vendor configurations. If not enabled the standard payment flow without TIP will be used in the payment vendor applications and by us.

Affected issues: #534, #626, #632, #630, #384

Refund and cancel support expanded across payment providers​

Refund and cancel transactions - including payment vendor provided tip - are now supported on Viva, Hobex (POSit and ECR), Worldline / PayOne (Tab on Mobile and SmartPOS), Softpay.io, Global Payments (GP tom and GP Pay), Shift4.

See documentation for the newly added /pay actions refund and cancel

Affected issues: #578, #620, #635, #633, #609, #585
