Tips
Tips let fans send one-time payments to creators without buying a specific item.
Enabling Tips
Tips are off by default. To turn them on:
- Go to Dashboard > Settings
- Enable Accept Tips
- Stripe must be connected with charges enabled
Once enabled, a tip button appears on your public profile page.
How Fans Tip
- Fan visits your profile (
/u/yourusername) - Clicks the tip button
- Enters an amount ($1 - $10,000) and an optional message (up to 280 characters)
- Completes payment through Stripe Checkout
The full amount minus Stripe’s processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30) goes directly to your Stripe account. We take no cut.
Viewing Tips
Your dashboard shows all tips received: who tipped, how much, any message they included, and when. Fans can see their tip history in their own account.
Tips and Revenue Splits
If your project has collaborators with revenue splits configured, tips are split according to the same percentages as item sales.
Notifications
When you receive a tip, you get an email notification (if enabled in your notification settings).
