Questions
Where do the tips go?
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.
Can one QR pay several staff?
Yes — that's split pay. 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.
Do customers need a special app?
Any Lightning wallet can scan the QR code. They point their camera, pick an amount, confirm — the tip lands in your wallet in seconds.
