Why TipMe

Why TipMe
for Guitar Teachers?

Independent guitar teachers use TipMe to collect lesson fees with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The student — or the parent — scans your personal QR code when the lesson ends, pays, and can add a tip. No school taking a cut, money directly to you.

The lesson ends, the week is settled

Case latched, capo off, one scan. No running tab, no “I'll get you next week,” no chasing parents by text on a Sunday night.

Studio, house calls, or video

The QR code lives on your case or music stand, and the same payment link covers the students you only ever see on a screen.

Lesson packs sell in one tap

Text the link with a ten-lesson price and it's paid before Saturday. Recital nights earn a tip on top through the same page.
