How does the Tip Jar work?

Last updated

The Tip Jar block adds a simple payment experience to your page. Visitors pick an amount and tap the button — a payment modal opens, they enter their card details, and the tip is sent directly to your Stripe account.

How to add a Tip Jar

  1. Connect your Stripe account under Profile → Payments
  2. Open the Content view on your page
  3. Tap + and select Tip Jar
  4. Set your preset amounts, currency, and button label
  5. Save — the block is live immediately

Tip Jar settings

  • Preset amounts — comma-separated list of suggested amounts (e.g. 2,5,10)
  • Allow custom amount — lets visitors enter any amount they choose
  • Currency — EUR by default; you can change this to match your Stripe account currency
  • Button label — defaults to "Send tip", but you can customize it

Where the money goes

Payments are routed directly to your connected Stripe account via Stripe Connect. Selfbase takes a small platform fee from each transaction. You can track all received tips in the Transactions view on your page.

Good to know

  • Tip Jar requires a connected Stripe account — set this up under Profile → Payments
  • Stripe Connect onboarding requires a PRO page
  • The Tip Jar block is in Beta — it is live and fully functional, newly launched
  • You can have multiple Tip Jar blocks on the same page
