How pricing works

One platform fee. No extra charges.

When a tip is successfully processed, Tipd applies one platform fee that includes payment processing. There are no separate charges for payouts or verification, and you choose how the platform fee is handled.

1

Only applied when Tipd is used

A platform fee is only applied when a successful tip is processed.

2

No extra charges added later

Payment processing is included, with no separate fees for payouts or verification.

3

Your team can receive the full tip amount

Let guests cover the platform fee so the full stated tip can go to the people receiving it.

Full, transparent pricing

See what the platform fee looks like in practice

The platform fee depends on the tip amount, currency and where the guest is paying from. Card processing costs can also vary by card type and issuing country, but they are included within the Tipd platform fee rather than added separately.

How we calculate the platform fee
UK & EU

For GBP and EUR payments from guests in the UK or EU, the platform fee is currently 7% + 10p/c.

International

For USD payments, and payments from guests outside the UK or EU, the platform fee is currently 8% + 20p/c.

Minimum fee

A minimum platform fee of 30p/c applies when the percentage calculation would otherwise be lower.

UK & EU payments

GBP or EUR payments from guests in the UK or EU.

Pricing FAQs

A few things you might want to know

Answers to common questions about fees, payouts and verification.

Will guests see the platform fee before they pay?

Yes. The platform fee and total payment amount are shown before the guest completes the payment.

Does the platform fee include VAT?

Where VAT applies, it is accounted for within Tipd’s platform fee rather than added as a separate Tipd charge.

Why do people receiving tips need to complete verification?

To process card payments and pay funds to bank accounts, Tipd and its payment provider need to verify the people receiving funds as part of identity and anti-money-laundering requirements. This is normally completed once during setup, and Tipd does not charge a separate verification fee.

When are tips paid out?

Standard payouts are usually made in 2 to 3 working days. The minimum payout is £5 for GBP, €5 for EUR and $100 for USD. Amounts below the minimum are held until the threshold is reached.

Which currencies does Tipd support?

Tipd supports GBP, EUR and USD. Guests can pay using supported debit and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Do team features cost extra?

No. Individual and team tipping, including automatic team tip splitting, are included in Tipd’s core pricing with no separate monthly subscription for those features.
