+
+The new payment vendor [Shift4](https://www.shift4.com) was added and supports all current features (payment, refund, cancel) including the new payment vendor provided tip.
+
+![shift4_settings](images/v1.3.0_settings_ui_shift4.png)
+
+**Now supported payment vendors:**
+
+- [Viva](https://viva.com/)
+- [Hobex](https://www.hobex.at/) (POSit and ECR)
+- [Worldline](https://worldline.com/) / [PayOne](https://www.payone.com/) (Tab on Mobile and SmartPOS)
+- [Softpay.io](https://softpay.io/)
+- [Global Payments](https://www.globalpayments.at/) (GP tom and GP Pay)
+- [Shift4](https://www.shift4.com)
+
+---
+
+## 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.
