Street performers and buskers rely on people passing by with change in their pocket, and fewer people carry cash every year. Many would happily tip if paying took a few seconds. A QR code and a simple payment page can turn more listeners into supporters.

Make tipping take seconds
A QR code on a sign next to the performer opens a payment page. Let people pick an amount and pay in a few taps, with no app to download.

What it does
Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.
Help them sell more than tips
The same page can take bookings for private events or sell music and merchandise. That turns a passer-by into a paying fan.
Grow where performers gather
Performers often know each other and play at the same spots, markets and festivals. A few who use your app can spread it through the whole scene.
