Why tipme
for Handymen?
Handyman jobs end at the front door with a satisfied customer standing right there. tipme turns that moment into instant payment. A scan, a card, done.
Get paid before you leave the driveway
The job's done and the customer is right there. One scan of your QR code settles the bill on the spot. No 'I'll mail a check', no chasing.
Small jobs need zero paperwork
A leaky faucet, a wobbly fence, a stuck door. Odd jobs shouldn't come with invoicing software. Your tipme QR code and link take any card or wallet, money directly to you.
Happy customers add a little extra
Same-day fixes and honest work earn tips. tipme takes the tip on top of the job payment in the same scan.
From job done
to paid.
No cash to chase. No card reader to carry. No monthly subscription.

Show it
Pull up your QR code on your phone after finishing a service.
Display it
Place it on a counter, table, workstation, vehicle or printed sign.
Stick it
Use a QR sticker where customers naturally see it.
Pin it
A pin badge goes on an apron, jacket or bag strap.
Send it
Send your payment link when your customer isn't standing in front of you.
With tipme, a handyman gets a personal QR code and payment link, and the customer scans the code with their phone camera and pays with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any card. No card reader, no invoice, and the payment goes directly to the handyman's account.
For same-day fixes and jobs done right, many add extra. tipme's payment page takes an optional tip on top of the job price in the same scan.
At the door during the final walkthrough. A card handed over with the 'all done' works best. A sticker on the toolbox keeps it in view the whole job.

You can withdraw once your balance reaches $1 or more.
