A digital tip jar for street performers.
People stop, listen, smile, and walk on because they have no coins. WaveTips puts a QR code next to your hat so anyone can tip you from their phone — and follow you afterwards.
Why your hat is emptier than your crowd
Fewer coins in pockets
Many people in your audience simply do not carry cash, even when they would happily give.
Passers-by do not stop for long
If giving takes more than a few seconds, most people keep walking. The gesture has to be instant.
Fans leave without a trace
Someone loved your set, but you will never know who they were or how to reach them.
What WaveTips does for performers
A sign that works in a crowd
A large, clean QR code that phones read from a few metres away, printed on your sign or your case.
From tip to follower
After tipping, people can follow you on Instagram, listen to you on Spotify or join your mailing list.
Quick amounts, zero friction
Preset amounts and one-tap payment, because a passer-by gives you seconds, not minutes.
Your pitches, compared
See which spots and time slots bring in the most, and plan your week accordingly.

Questions from street performers
Do I still need a permit to perform?
Yes. WaveTips handles tips, not local regulations. Check the rules in your city before performing in public.
What if there is no signal where I play?
The page is very light and loads on a weak connection. Visitors use their own data, not yours.
Can a band share one code?
Yes, a group can have a shared profile. Splitting tips between members is on the roadmap.
Do I need a registered business?
You need to verify your identity and have a bank account in your name. Tips are income: declare them according to your country and status.
Your next audience has no coins. Be ready.
