Make a free tip QR code your customers can actually use
This tip QR code generator turns your payment link into a scannable code. Put it on a table tent, a counter card, a receipt, a delivery bag, or a mirror. A guest points their phone camera at it and lands on your tipping page in seconds.
Cash tips fail when nobody carries cash. A tip code removes the awkward part: no asking, no card machine, no app download. The guest scans, picks an amount, and pays.
What a tip QR code does
- Opens your payment link: PayPal.Me, Venmo, Cash App, Revolut, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, or a Stripe payment link all work.
- Accepts a $cashtag: type
$yournameand the code opens your Cash App payment page. - Pre-fills an amount if you want: a link like
paypal.me/yourname/5suggests a $5 tip on arrival. - Stays fixed: the printed code always points to the same page. It never expires.
Where tip codes work best
- Restaurants and cafes: table tents and receipt stickers for servers and baristas.
- Salons and barbershops: a small card at the station or the mirror.
- Delivery and drivers: a sticker on the bag or the dashboard.
- Musicians and performers: a poster by the stage or the guitar case.
- Hotels and valet: housekeeping cards and valet stands.
How to create it
- Paste your tipping link: your PayPal.Me, Venmo, or Cash App link in the field above. A bare
$cashtagworks too. - Check the preview: scan it with your own phone and confirm the right page opens.
- Style it: add a label like "Scan to leave a tip" so nobody has to guess what the code does.
- Print it: use the printable design option for a ready-to-print table card, or download the code alone.
Make the tip code earn more
- Say what it is: a short line like "Enjoyed the service? Scan to tip" beats a bare code.
- Suggest an amount: pre-filled amounts lower the decision effort and raise the average tip.
- Place it at the payment moment: the receipt, the counter, the door of the delivery bag.
- Keep contrast high: a dark code on a light card scans fastest.
FAQs
Which tipping apps work with this?
Any service with a public payment link: PayPal.Me, Venmo, Cash App, Revolut, Wise, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, or a Stripe payment link. The code opens the link; the payment happens on that service.
What is the difference between a tip code and a donation code?
The mechanics are the same, the moment is different. A tip thanks a person for a service just delivered. A donation supports a cause. Use the donation QR code generator for fundraising pages like GoFundMe.
Does QRplify take a cut of tips?
No. The QR code is a link. Tips go straight through your payment provider, and only their normal fees apply.
Can I change the link after printing?
Not on a static code. If you want to switch payment providers later without reprinting, use a dynamic QR code with a free account.
Put your tip code to work
Paste your payment link above, add a "Scan to leave a tip" label, and print the card. Test the scan on two phones before you laminate anything.
