A QR code for the stage
Print it on the case, the merch table, or the stage screen. A scan opens a wallet payment in a few seconds.
For musicians
A tip jar that works when nobody carries cash.
One link and one QR code for gigs, streams, and bios — with tips, tracks, merch, and monthly support behind it.
Why it works
For musicians
Sell the track directly
Digital downloads deliver instantly after payment, at a price you set, with none of the streaming-rate arithmetic.
Monthly supporters
The fans who come to every show will pay monthly if you ask. Tiers turn that goodwill into a rehearsal budget.
Fund the record
A visible goal for studio time, a press run, or a tour van gives casual fans a reason to give now rather than someday.
Live
The cashless tip jar problem, solved.
Street and small-venue income collapsed when cash did. A scannable code restores the impulse payment — someone hears a song, scans, and pays before the next one starts.
- One QR code, printable at any size
- Wallet payment in about six seconds
- No app for the listener to install
Releases
Sell tracks, stems, and merch from the same page.
Digital items deliver instantly; physical items collect an address and appear in an order list. The page that takes tips also takes pre-orders.
- Instant delivery for tracks, stems, and tabs
- Limited runs for vinyl, tapes, and signed items
- Discount codes for launch week
Between releases
Keep the room warm.
Posts let you publish demos, rehearsal clips, and notes to the people who care most, without competing for attention on a feed.
- Members-only demos and rough mixes
- Public posts for release announcements
- Broadcast to supporters when a date is announced

04
List one thing to buy
A single track or a shirt turns a tip page into a shop with almost no extra work.
Streaming pays in fractions; fans pay in whole numbers
The arithmetic of streaming is well known and unkind. A thousand plays is a coffee; a single supporter at a few dollars a month is worth thousands of plays a year.
That doesn't mean abandoning streaming — it's discovery, and discovery is valuable. It means having somewhere for the people who already found you to actually pay you.
The gig is the highest-intent moment you get
Nobody will ever want to support you more than in the ninety seconds after a song they loved. If the only options are cash they don't carry or a follow they'll forget, that moment is wasted.
A code on the case, on the table, and on the screen catches it. Keep the preset amounts small and local — a tip should feel like the price of a drink, not a decision.
Building a monthly base
Monthly support works for musicians because the output is naturally episodic — demos, rehearsal footage, early mixes, and setlists all exist already as byproducts of the work.
Ask at the moment of highest affection: after a show, after a release, after a good night. Not in a cold post on a Tuesday.
FAQ
Questions people ask first.
Can I use this while busking?
That's one of the strongest use cases. Print the QR code large enough to scan from a few metres and keep preset amounts small.
Can a band share one page?
Yes — run the page under the band name with one connected Stripe account, and settle splits the way you already split gig money.
Can I sell physical records?
Yes. Physical products collect a shipping address at checkout and appear in an order list with fulfilment status.
Does it work internationally?
Anywhere Stripe supports your account, with multi-currency pricing so amounts read sensibly in each market.
Can fans leave a message with a tip?
Yes, an optional one-liner. It's often the part artists keep — song requests, gig memories, and the occasional very kind note.
