We started TipMe because we saw a problem: the world was going cashless, but tips were still stuck in the past. Service workers and artists were losing income simply because customers didn't carry cash. We decided to fix that.
It started with a street musician who played a beautiful set but went home with an empty hat. Not because people didn't appreciate the music — they did. They just didn't have change.
That moment became our mission: build a bridge between appreciation and action. A way for anyone to say "thank you" with a real, tangible tip — instantly, from their phone.
Today, TipMe serves thousands of workers across dozens of cities. From baristas in Brooklyn to bellboys in Beverly Hills, from buskers in Austin to cleaners in Chicago — we help people earn what they deserve.
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help the person earning tips? We exist to empower workers, not platforms.
Your tips go directly to you. We use world-class payment processors, secure encryption, and never take a hidden cut.
No expensive hardware. No complex setup. Just a phone, a QR code, and the freedom to earn tips from anyone — even those without cash.
We keep our fees low and transparent. The goal is simple: maximize the amount of every tip that reaches the person who earned it.
Add your photo, bio, job title, and workplace. Let tippers know who you are.
Print it, display it, wear it. Your personal QR code is your digital tip jar.
