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 Zipline Guides?
Adventure park guests lock their belongings away before the first platform, so by the last line they could not tip you if they wanted to. tipme gives every guide a personal QR code at gear return. That is where phones and gratitude meet again.
Lockers eat the tip money
Guests stash wallets and phones before harnessing up. Everything comes back at gear return. A QR code on the counter is right there waiting for the thank-you.
You talked them off the ledge, literally
Half of guiding is coaching scared first-timers across the platform. That is the service people remember. That is what they want to reward.
Groups mean multiple tippers per tour
Every tour is eight or ten guests, each holding their own phone. One visible QR code lets all of them tip. The person who booked the group stops being the only one who pays.

Send it
Send your payment link when your customer isn't standing in front of you.
With tipme you get a personal QR code. Put it on a card at the gear return counter, or a patch on your helmet, and guests scan it and tip with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any card before they head to the parking lot.
Gear return is the moment. Guests have their phones back and the adrenaline is still fresh, and a sign at the photo kiosk, where they are already buying mid-air shots of themselves, converts nearly as well.
Yes. Five to ten dollars per guest is typical on a standard tour, and more when a guide has walked someone through a real fear. The problem is the lockers. Nobody has cash by the end, and the QR code fixes that.
Yes. No monthly subscription. A small processing fee applies to each payment or tip, and you choose, for each page and each payment request, whether the customer covers it or you do.
One flat processing fee per payment, the same for every card and wallet. The exact total is shown before anyone pays. The full breakdown is on the fees page.
You can withdraw once your balance reaches $1 or more.
