TipNow is a digital tipping platform for South Africa. We give service workers a personal QR code. When a customer scans it, they can send a tip using their phone. The worker receives the money in their TipNow wallet and can cash out to their bank or get a grocery voucher sent via WhatsApp.
Four simple steps from scan to cash in hand
They scan the worker's QR code with their phone camera
Picks R10, R20, R50 or a custom amount and pays by card
Tip arrives instantly in the worker's TipNow wallet
Bank payout from R50 or instant grocery voucher via WhatsApp
Hear from service workers already using TipNow across South Africa
"Before TipNow, some days I'd make R150 if I was lucky. Now I make R280 most days. People tip more when they don't need cash. I can also pay for my daughter's school transport now."
"I was worried about getting robbed walking home with cash. With TipNow, my tips go straight to my wallet. I cash out to Pick n Pay vouchers and buy groceries for my family."
"The other tipping app took 10% of my money and it was hard to get it out. TipNow only takes 5% and I get paid to my bank the same day. Big difference for me."
"My customers love it. They always say 'I wanted to tip you but I don't have cash.' Now they just scan my QR code. I even get tips from regular customers who never tipped before."
"I signed up on WhatsApp in 2 minutes. No forms, no ID copies, nothing. They sent me my QR code and I started earning that same day. This is how things should work."
"I use TipNow to save my tips. At the end of the week I cash out as grocery vouchers from Checkers. It costs only R1.50 and the voucher comes straight to my WhatsApp. Very easy."
No app download, no account needed.
