A crowd that loves your set will happily show it, as long as it’s easy. At most gigs the only way to tip is cash in a jar, and fewer people carry cash every year. A QR code that takes fans straight to a tip page turns “I’d tip if I could” into an actual tip. Here are five ways to get the most out of it.
1. Put the code where people are already looking
Fans look at the booth, the stage and the screen, not at a sign on the back wall. Put your EasyTipping QR code on the front of the booth or the mic stand, and on the screen between sets if the venue has one. Make it big enough to scan from a few metres away.
2. Say it out loud, once or twice
A quick shout-out works better than any sign: “If you’re enjoying the set, you can tip me by scanning the code on the booth.” Do it at a high point in the night, after a big track or a request, when the crowd is at its happiest.
3. Tie tips to requests and shout-outs
Many fans love to request a song or a birthday shout-out. Let them know they can send a tip with their request. It’s a natural reason to tip, and it makes the moment feel personal.
4. Make it fast for the fan
Nobody wants to download an app halfway through a night out. With EasyTipping, fans scan the code, pick an amount and pay with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The whole thing takes seconds, so they’re back on the dance floor before the next drop.
5. Take your code everywhere you play
- Add the link to your social bios so fans can tip after the gig too.
- Share it in live streams and pin it in the chat.
- Print it on flyers, stickers and merch so it travels with you.
