What is digital tipping?

 

Digital tipping is the modern way to say “thank you” — using your smartphone or card instead of cash. With EasyTip, customers can easily leave a tip for great service via a QR code or link, without needing an app or handling cash.

 

How does EasyTip’s digital tipping work?

 

It’s simple:

  • Step 1: A customer scans a QR code or taps an NFC tag at checkout or on a staff badge.

  • Step 2: They’re taken to a branded tipping page with the staff member’s photo and name.

  • Step 3: The customer chooses an amount and pays securely using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card.

  • Step 4: The tip goes directly to the staff member’s bank account, usually within 24 hours.

Why is digital tipping better than cash?

 

  • Convenient: No need to carry coins or notes.

  • Contactless: Hygienic and touch-free.

  • Fast payouts: Tips go straight to staff bank accounts.

  • Fair and transparent: Tips are clearly attributed to the right person.

  • Tax-compliant: EasyTip provides records to help with any reporting needs.

It’s popular across many sectors:

  • Salons & barbershops

  • Spas & wellness centers

  • Hotels & concierge services

  • Restaurants & cafés

  • Car washes, valet parking, delivery services — anywhere great service deserves a tip!

Do customers need an app to tip?

 

Nope! EasyTip is app-free. Customers simply scan a QR code or tap, and the tipping page opens in their browser. It’s super fast and user-friendly.

 

What are customers saying about digital tipping?

 

Customers love the ease and speed. Many say they want to tip but don’t carry cash anymore, so EasyTip lets them show appreciation without hassle.

 

How quickly do staff receive their tips?

 

Tips are paid directly to the individual staff member’s bank account. There’s no need to wait for a weekly payroll.
