Virtual tip jars - any.. er, tips?

Trude

Just wondering if anyone has used a virtual tip jar service for gigs, and if so whether you'd recommend any particular provider?

I'm mainly doing solo gigs these days, and punters are always buying me drinks etc. Having to drive means I often have to turn down these kind offers, so I'm thinking a cashless tip jar might give people another option for sharing the love.

There’s a busking app so I’m betting these exist ,I think it’s usually a QR code which you can print out large & put on a board so people can scan it

Yeah, there are a few services that do just that - I'm just trying to decide which one to go for.  Presumably they all take a cut, but not sure how they compare.

I think I might give this one a try.  4% transaction fee (says it's covered by the tipper)
