About Tip Top Jar
What is Tip Top Jar?
Tip Top Jar is an online tipping platform that lets you collect tips from supporters anywhere — whether you're a musician on a street corner, a car wash crew, a bartender, or a pickleball facility. It replaces the need for cash with digital tipping via a personal tip page, QR code, widget, or shareable link.
Who is it for?
Tip Top Jar is built for service professionals, performers, creators, sports venues, bars, and fast-moving service businesses where tipping is common but cash is scarce. It is not designed for large-scale fundraising or non-tipping contexts.
Real use cases
Musicians place a QR code on their tip jar to collect contactless tips from passersby. Car washes add tip widgets to booking emails to boost crew tips. Pickleball courts embed QR codes around courts for players to tip after matches. Bartenders use the platform to split tips digitally and track them by shift.
