Booking & Payment App for Class Instructors
Cooking, pottery, language or dance. Put your class times on a calendar, set the seats, and students book a spot and pay on your page.
One app for the job
and the tip.
A haircut. A yoga class. A dog walk. A home repair. A hotel tip. The work may be different, but the payment moment is the same: your customer needs an easy way to pay you. tipme gives you one place to accept service payments and voluntary tips, whether your customer is standing in front of you or paying later from a link.

Why tipme
for Class Instructors?
Independent instructors use tipme to fill classes and get paid before the class starts. Add your times to a calendar, set how many students fit, and students pick a time and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. The money goes to you.
A class schedule in a few taps
Add one date, or repeat the same time on the days you teach for up to six months. Plans change? Edit or remove a time from the app or the website.
You decide how many fit
Give each time a number of seats, or leave it open. A seat is held while a student pays, so a class of eight never sells a ninth spot. Full means full.
See who paid for each class
Open any date and the list is there: who booked, how much they paid and when, plus a phone number and email for each student. No spreadsheet. No chasing anyone at the door.
An easy page for your students
Students open your page and see your photo, your description and the open times. They pick one and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or any card. No app to download, no account to make.
From job done
to paid.
No cash to chase. No card reader to carry. No monthly subscription.
