About Venue. Add your staff's own Lightning addresses and each tip goes straight to one of them, rotating so it evens out over time. You never hold anyone's tips and there is no payout to run. Change staff whenever you like — the printed QR never changes. Every tip is recorded against the person who received it, and you can export the lot as a spreadsheet.
People who pay in bitcoin like supporting the places that accept it, and they tip well when they find one. That is extra money for your staff on top of the card tips, and this is how it reaches all of them.
Each tip goes to one person, not split across everyone. It balances out across a busy shift, not across two or three tips. Everyone in the rotation needs a wallet that can confirm payments — Coinos, Alby, Blink or Speed.
Directly to your Lightning wallet. The page turns your lightning address into an invoice on the spot — the money never passes through us and we couldn't touch it if we wanted to.
Nothing. The page, the QR code and the print-ready poster and table-tent artwork are free — download them and print them yourself, and you'll always see how many tips you've received. If you ever want your own branding (your logo, your colors, your own domain) plus a record of every individual tip you can export as a CSV for your books, that's a single $50 payment, whenever you like. Venues with staff can pay $99 once for split pay, which rotates tips between your team's own wallets. No subscription, no percentage of tips.
Yes — that's the Venue tier. Add each person's own lightning address and every tip goes straight to one of them, with the rotation weighted so it evens out over time. Nothing is pooled and you never hold anyone else's tips, so there's no weekly payout to run. When staff change you edit the list; the printed QR, the poster and your URL all stay exactly as they are. Two things worth saying plainly: each tip goes to one person rather than being split across everyone, so it balances out over a busy shift rather than over two or three tips — and everyone in the rotation needs a wallet that can confirm payments (Coinos, Alby, Blink or Speed), because that confirmation is how the rotation knows a tip actually arrived.
Any Lightning wallet that gives you a lightning address — if your wallet shows something like you@coinos.io, you're ready. Wallets like coinos.io, Alby and Blink also unlock the extras: your page shows a live "Paid ✓" the moment a tip lands, and tippers can attach their name. Wallets without those features still work — those extras just switch off quietly, and the generator tells you which ones your wallet has.
Yes — getting one takes about two minutes. coinos.io works right in the browser (no app store) and supports everything the tip page can do; Blink is the wallet many bitcoin-accepting shops already use; Speed and Alby are easy alternatives. All four confirm tips back to your page, so you get the live “Paid ✓”, your tip records and tipper names. Any of them gives you a lightning address right away — paste it here and your tip jar is live. The wallet is where your tips arrive, so keep it.
Any Lightning wallet can scan the QR code. They point their camera, pick an amount, confirm — the tip lands in your wallet in seconds.
