What is cashless tipping?

Cashless tipping lets customers leave a tip without cash. Instead of coins or notes, customers scan a QR code and tip using card or mobile wallets. In Australia, where tap-and-go has become the norm, QR code tipping is one of the easiest ways to make tipping quick, optional, and comfortable.

Why QR code tipping is growing in Australia

Australia is increasingly cashless

Many customers want to tip but don’t carry cash anymore.

No awkward tipping moment

A QR scan makes tipping feel natural and optional.

About Cashless Tipping

Understanding digital tipping in Australia

What is cashless tipping in Australia?

Cashless tipping is a digital way for customers to tip service workers using card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay instead of cash. QR code tipping platforms like PocketTip make it easy for Australian workers to accept tips in our tap-and-go economy.

How does QR code tipping work in Australia?

QR code tipping works by linking a QR code to a digital tip page. When a customer scans the code with their phone camera, they open your tip page and can tip using card or mobile wallets without cash. It's the modern digital tip jar for Australia's cashless economy.

Is this the same as a digital tip jar?

Yes. PocketTip works like a digital tip jar customers scan your QR code and tip cashlessly using card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. It's designed for Australian service workers who want to accept cashless tips.

Why do Australian workers need digital tipping?

Most Australians don't carry cash anymore. Cashless tipping with QR codes lets customers tip service workers using the same tap-and-go payment methods they already use for everything else. It removes the 'I don't have cash' problem.

What types of workers use cashless tipping?

Cashless tipping is used across Australian hospitality workers, café baristas, restaurant servers, bartenders, rideshare drivers, delivery workers, salon staff, performers, event staff, and more anywhere customers want to say thanks in a cashless way.

Getting Started

Everything you need to begin accepting tips

How do I create a tip page?

Creating a tip page on PocketTip is free and takes about 60 seconds. Sign up, choose your event type, add your details, and you'll get a unique QR code and shareable link. No technical skills needed.

Do I need a Stripe account?

No separate Stripe account needed. We use Stripe Connect to handle payments securely. You'll complete a simple onboarding process to receive payouts directly to your Australian bank account.

How long does setup take?

Setup takes about 60 seconds to create your tip page. Stripe Connect onboarding (required for payouts) takes 5-10 minutes and can be done anytime before your first tip. You can start sharing your QR code immediately.

Is there a mobile app?

No app needed. Your tip page works perfectly in any web browser on any device. Customers scan your QR code and tip directly through their phone's browser using card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

Can I customise my tip page?

Yes. You can add your name, photo, event details, welcome message, and choose colours to match your style. Make it personal so customers know they're tipping the right person.
