Any track
they can name

One search covers Spotify and Apple Music at once. Guests type a few letters and pick the exact song, with its artwork, so you never squint at a misspelt scribble. Want only what you can play? Let them search your own DJ collection instead.

Built especially
for DJs

Track requests go straight into the software you already play from, as a playlist of your own files, not a streaming copy. Any request you already own is marked in your inbox with its BPM, key and length.

  • rekordbox

    Tonight's requests sit in the rekordbox xml tree as a playlist. Press the reload arrow and the new ones are there.

  • VirtualDJ

    A Tipsody folder in your favourites fills up as requests come in. Click it and they're ready to load.

  • Serato

    Download tonight's requests and drop them onto your crates. Serato DJ Pro and Lite, version 5 and later.

  • Three ways to take requests

    Free, with a tip, or money-back: if you don't play it, the guest is refunded automatically. You set a minimum, and you can switch requests off for the nights you just want tips.

  • Your page, your look

    Four starting themes, your photo, your colours and fonts. The A5 poster and the business card print from the same design, so the booth matches the phone.

  • Live tonight

    Start a gig and your page shows the night and the venue with a live badge. Guests see they are tipping the person on the decks, not an old link.

  • A buzz, not a glance

    A notification for every paid tip, on the phone app or in your browser. Nothing shows until the money has actually cleared.

Your library stays private: guests never see it unless you choose to show them. rekordbox, Serato and VirtualDJ are trademarks of their owners, and Tipsody isn't connected with them.

Made for
the street

Buskers, street performers, street vendors, market stalls and anyone with an open guitar case. One QR code on your sign takes the tips and sales that used to walk past because nobody had change.

No card machine
Fewer people carry cash, and a card reader is one more thing to buy, charge and lose. Guests tip on their own phone with Apple Pay or Google Pay while you keep playing.
A sign worth stopping for
Design your page and poster together: your photo, your colours, your name and a QR code big enough to read. Print the A5 poster or the business card.
Tips that turn into followers
Your page shows your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify and the rest, so someone who stopped for one song can follow you on the way home.
Let the pavement pick
Passers-by can ask for a song with their tip. You see it on your phone and decide whether to play it.
Sell without a card reader
Selling CDs, prints, crafts or merch? List them on the same page. Buyers pay on their own phone, then show you their order code to collect. Set how many you have and they show "Sold out" when they're gone.

Made for anyone
who earns a tip

If people want to say thanks and don't have cash, give them a QR code. The same free page works for all of these, and plenty more.

  • Wedding DJs

    Guests who want to thank you on the night rarely carry cash. A card on the DJ table lets them tip and ask for one more song.

  • Mobile DJs

    Birthdays, works dos and school discos: one QR code that travels with your kit and takes requests at every booking.

  • Bands

    Put the code on the kick drum or the merch table, and sell your CDs and T-shirts from the same page.

  • Singers and choirs

    After a set people want to say thanks. A QR code on the stand catches them before they drift off.

  • Pianists

    Hotel lobbies, stations and restaurants: listeners can tip and ask for their song without interrupting you.

  • Magicians

    Close-up acts move table to table. A card in your pocket means a tip never waits for a cash machine.

  • Comedians

    Open spots are often unpaid. A QR code on the mic stand turns a good set into something for the train home.

  • Karaoke and quiz hosts

    Let the room request songs with a tip and see the queue on your phone, not on beer mats.

  • Open mic nights

    Each act can put their own code up, or the host can take tips for the night on one page.

  • Charity nights

    Tips land in your own account, so you can pass the lot on. Check the charity is happy with it first.

  • Festival acts

    Big crowds, no cash and patchy card readers. Guests pay on their own phone, wherever they're standing.

  • Living statues

    You can't move to take a coin. A sign with a QR code takes the tips while you hold still.

  • Street artists and caricaturists

    Crowds watch for ages and few carry change. A code beside the easel lets watchers tip as well as sitters.

  • Face painters and balloon artists

    Parents pay for the face or the balloon on their own phone while the queue keeps moving. No card reader or Bluetooth gadget needed.

  • Street vendors

    List what you sell with a price. Buyers pay on their phone and show you the order code to collect. No card reader or Bluetooth gadget needed.

  • Market stalls and craft sellers

    Sell prints, crafts and makes with no card reader or Bluetooth gadget to charge. Set how many you have and it shows Sold out.

  • Tour guides

    At the end of a walk, hold up the code. Visitors from abroad tip with the wallet already on their phone.

  • Bar and waiting staff

    A personal code for customers who want to tip you directly. Check your employer's tipping policy first.

  • Hairdressers and barbers

    A small card at your chair for clients who want to tip and are paying the salon by card.

  • Delivery drivers

    A QR sticker in the van for customers who like to tip. Check with whoever you drive for first.

Working for someone else? Check their tipping policy first. Playing a charity night? Tips land in your own account, so you pass them on.

Simple, honest fees

Guests pay the tip plus a 25p service fee, shown before they pay. You pay 3.4% + 25p all-in, and card processing is inside that, not on top. A £5.00 tip costs the guest £5.25 and £4.58 reaches you.

Small tips are looked after too: on a £1 tip you keep 80p. No monthly bill, no withdrawal fee, no tiers.

Cheaper than a tip jar app

Buy Me a Coffee takes 5% of every payment and then adds card processing on top. Tipsody's 3.4% + 25p has the card processing inside it. The bigger the tip, the wider the gap, and there is no monthly plan to pay for.

Ko-fi takes nothing on a one-off donation on its free plan, but charges 5% on memberships and shop sales unless you pay for Ko-fi Gold. Neither has a QR code for the gig, song requests, or a set list your crowd can pick from.

Monthly support is 3.4% to Tipsody and nothing else. Stripe's card fee (about 1.5% + 20p for a UK card) comes from your Stripe account, as it does for any business taking cards. On a £5.00 a month supporter you keep about £4.55. Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi both charge 5% plus processing on memberships.

Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi figures are from their published pricing in November 2026 (5% platform fee, card processing about 2.9% + 30p). Check their sites for today's rates. Tipsody figures are what the performer keeps.

Good for your website too

A link back to you

Add your website and socials to your page and tipsody.com links to them. Links from other sites are one of the things Google counts, so even if nobody tips tonight your own site is a little better off.

One address for everything

tipsody.com/yourname carries your bio, your photo, your Instagram, TikTok, Spotify and the rest, so it works as a link-in-bio page as well as a tip page.

Questions
performers ask

Do my guests need to download an app?

No. Your crowd gets a web page: scan, tap an amount, pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nothing to install and nobody signs up.

What does a tip cost the guest?

The tip plus a 25p service fee. The fee and the total are on the Pay button before the wallet opens, so the receipt matches what they saw.

When do I get my tips?

Tips go straight into your own Stripe account and pay out to your bank on Stripe's normal schedule. Tipsody never holds your money and there's no fee to withdraw it.

Is there a subscription or a paid plan?

No. Every feature is free: requests, themes, posters, notifications, selling, the lot, and there are no adverts. Tipsody earns a small fee on each tip or sale and nothing else.

Can I see which requests I already have?

Yes. Upload your rekordbox, Serato or VirtualDJ library once. Any request already in it says "In your library", with its BPM, key and length.

Which music apps can I open a request in?

Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, SoundCloud, TIDAL and YouTube. You choose which ones show.

Is it quick to use in the middle of a set?

The track is the headline, Played and Declined are big buttons, and the next request is one swipe away.

Can I stop someone sending the same request all night?

Yes. Choose how many requests each phone can send per night, and block a phone if you need to.

Can I sell merch or stock?

Yes. Add products in Settings with a photo and a price, and they show in a Buy section on your page. Buyers scan, pay on their own phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, and show you the order code on their screen to collect in person. They pay just the price you set; the fees come out of your side, so on a £10.00 item you get £9.16. Tell it how many you have and it counts down with each sale, then shows "Sold out".

Your page speaks
their language

Guests see your page in the language their phone is set to: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish. A language picker at the bottom of the page lets anyone switch. Your name and bio stay exactly as you wrote them.
