Link Stripe
Connect Stripe to take card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay tips - with payouts straight to your bank.
Stripe is the processor we recommend: cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and payouts straight to your bank. The only cost is a per-tip fee: Stripe’s transaction fee passed on at cost, plus TipPage’s own share of at most 1% + 3p - see the rates. Tippers only ever see TipPage on their statement - your name and address stay private, in a way PayPal can’t match.
Open Settings, Payments
In the dashboard, go to Settings and pick the Payments tab. You’ll see the Stripe panel with a Connect with Stripe button.
Connect with Stripe
Click it and you’ll be sent to Stripe to set up your account. Stripe handles this bit - it asks for your details, identity verification, and the bank account your payouts should go to. If you already have a Stripe account, you can use that.
Finish and come back
When Stripe’s done with you, you’re sent back to the dashboard. The Stripe panel now shows your account as connected.
While you’re on the Payments tab
Set your Amounts at the top:
- Currency - what viewers tip in.
- Minimum - the smallest tip you’ll accept. Default is 2.00. Smaller tips are refused. There’s a floor of one unit of your currency (£1, €1, $1 - higher where a unit is worth less, like ¥150 or 10 kr): below that your card processor won’t take the payment at all, and the fixed part of the processing fee would leave you nothing.
- Starts at - what the amount box is pre-filled with. Tippers can change it. Leave blank to start at your minimum.
- Maximum - the largest tip you’ll accept. Leave blank for no limit (TipPage caps every tip at 1,000,000 regardless).
- Preset buttons - up to 5 one-tap amounts shown above the amount box, plus an “Other” button that focuses the box. Switch them off to show just the box.
Then Message:
- Max message length - up to 255 characters.
And Donor identity, if you want tips tied to real Twitch or Kick accounts:
- Require sign-in to tip - the tip form stays locked until the viewer signs in with Twitch or Kick. A strong lever against anonymous ban evasion.
- Use the donor’s account name - the tip’s name comes from the Twitch or Kick account the viewer signed in with; the name field disappears from the form.
Hit Save changes when you’re done.
Disconnecting
Disconnect in the Stripe panel unlinks the account. If you also have PayPal connected, tips switch over to that; if not, tipping is off until you connect something.
