Cashless tipping without the admin

Give your guides a modern way to receive tips, without adding another payment process for your business

01

Keep tips out of your business

Guests tip guides directly, so you don't need to collect or process gratuities through your business accounts or payment systems.

02

Split team tips automatically

Two guides, a guide and driver, or a whole crew can share one guest tip evenly without manual calculations or admin.

03

Fits around the tools you already use

Add a Tipd link to your guest messages or tour app, or display a QR code for your guests to scan. No POS or payroll integration required.

Flexible for different tour models

We know that one tipping setup doesn’t fit every tour

Tipd can match the way your guides, drivers and crews actually work including single guides, guide teams, alternating team members or multiple tours at the same time.

Individual guides

Let guests tip one guide directly, with no cash or bank details exchanged.

Fixed guide teams

Put guides, drivers or crew into one team and split every tip evenly between them.

Changing teams

Keep the same team link or QR code while staff rotate. Members check in and out so tips are shared between the people working.

Multiple tours

Create separate teams for different tours, boats or vehicles, each with its own link or QR code.

Simple to roll out

Set it up once. Let Tipd handle the rest.

No POS, payroll or booking system integration. Tipd works alongside the tools you already use.

01

Create your teams

Set up Tipd to match how your operation works and invite your team members.

02

Your team joins Tipd

Each team member completes onboarding with Tipd and securely connects their own bank account for payouts.

03

Guests scan or tap

Share a QR code or Tipd link through your app, email, guest messages or printed material.

04

Tipd splits and pays out

Shared tips are divided automatically and each guide receives their money directly in 2–3 working days.

Trust, built in

Built for everyone involved

Better for your team. Easier for your guests.

Tipd gives your guides, drivers and crews a simple way to receive tips, while making it quick and reassuring for guests to say thank you.

Each person receives their share directly into their own bank account in 2 to 3 working days.

Private and transparent

Team members do not need to share bank details or personal information with the guests, and they can track their own tips clearly.

Common questions

A few things you might want to know first

Tipd is designed to be simple to introduce without changing the way your business already operates.

Book a 15 minute demo
How much does Tipd cost?

There is no monthly subscription to get started. Tipd charges a platform fee only when a guest leaves a tip, and you can choose whether the guest covers it. The exact amount varies depending on the payment amount, currency and processing costs.

See pricing
Can guests cover the platform fee?

Yes. You can choose to let guests add the platform fee to their payment, so your team can receive the full tip amount.

You can also choose to deduct the fee from the tip instead.

Do we need to collect or redistribute the tips?

No. Guests tip through Tipd and the money is paid directly to the people receiving the tip.

For sharing teams, Tipd automatically splits the tip between the eligible team members and pays each member their share.

What if our guides, drivers or crew change regularly?

That’s fine. A team can keep the same link or QR code while team members check in and out using the app as they rotate between tours.

This works particularly well for fixed locations such as boats, coaches or other vehicles where the QR code stays the same but the people working may change.

Do we need to integrate Tipd with our existing systems?

No. Tipd is designed to be separate and work alongside your booking, payment and payroll systems without an integration.

You can share Tipd through a QR code, web link, guest app, email or message.

"Although you never assume to get tips, it is lovely when you do receive people’s gratitude and to do so without any awkwardness. This app allows me to either ping over a link on request or have them scan the QR code and my money has been received safe and sound. It's a great system!"

Emma, Coutours Ltd

"Since the pandemic most tourists are not carrying any cash and a few have asked if there is a way to tip me via credit card. It has therefore been very useful to have Tipd! I like the way that all the fees are paid for by the client and so I get the full amount of the tip. The app is easy to use and I like the fact you can customise the suggested tip amount buttons."

Gavin, Tour Guide London
