For guests
Tip the person who helped you.
Tap or scan their tag. No app. Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. You see the total before you pay. Choose any amount. Or none.
Try the page: tip MariaA mock. No payment is taken.
When you scan
What happens, in order.
Four steps, on one web page. Nothing to download.
01
You land on their page.
Their name and what they do. It opens in your browser.
02
You choose.
Three suggestions, your own amount, or “Not now”. Nothing is picked for you.
03
You see the total first.
Tip, service fee, total. Then Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card.
04
They have it.
The tip is theirs, and it is on their record.
The fee
Service fee $0.50. Not a tip.
Maria gets all of your $10.00. You see the total before you pay.
Taking a card payment costs money: about $0.45 on a $5 tip at list price. That is what the service fee is for. It is added on top, so nothing comes out of the tip.
In this preview it is a flat $0.50, whatever you tip. The level is not decided.
Service fee $0.50. Not a tip. Maria gets all of your $10.00.
Where it goes
Your tip goes to Maria. The venue never handles it.
The venue is not on this line. It is never in the flow of funds.
The money
You
Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. In dollars.
A licensed payments provider
Takes the payment and pays it out. Ins Tip never holds it.
Maria
The whole tip, on her own debit card.
Ins Tip is a technology company, not a bank. Payments and card services are provided by licensed partners.
Your choice
Choose any amount. Or none.
A tip the guest could not reduce to zero is not a qualified tip under the 2026 rules.
No amount is picked for you.
The three suggestions are suggestions. None is selected when the page opens.
“Not now” is always there.
On every step until you pay. It leaves the page and nothing is charged.
Any amount is an answer.
Type your own. Zero is allowed, and it leaves the page too.
