Accept tips & donations from fans — PayPal or crypto, one link
Want fans to be able to send a quick tip, a thank-you, or pay for a small extra — without DMing you their PayPal or negotiating a price every time? Create one payment link, drop it in your bio, and let fans pay by card, PayPal or crypto. The money settles straight to your own PayPal or wallet.
"Just send it to my PayPal" doesn't scale
When a fan wants to send something extra, the usual options are clunky — and most weren't designed for quick, casual tipping at all.
- Sharing your PayPal.me link or email in every DM is repetitive, and some fans won't have a PayPal account at all.
- Posting a crypto wallet address publicly is intimidating for fans who've never used crypto — and useless for fans who only have a card.
- Tip features built into a platform are limited to that platform's payment methods and cut, and don't help with off-platform support.
- Without a record of tips, it's hard to know who's supported you, how much, or thank them properly.
A single tip link that takes almost any payment method
Create one PayRequest payment link set to "name your price" (or with suggested amounts), and share it once. Fans pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto — whatever they have — and it settles to your own connected PayPal or wallet.
One link for tips, of any amount
Create a 'name your price' payment link — fans choose how much to send, from a quick tip to a generous one-off gift.
Settles to PayPal or a crypto wallet
Connect a PayPal account (200+ markets) or a wallet for USDC — tips land directly there, with no bank account in between.
Works for digital extras too
The same link format works for a one-off 'extra photo' or custom request — set a fixed price instead of 'name your price'.
Reusable — share it everywhere
One link works in your bio, in a pinned post, or sent directly in a DM to a fan who's asked how to send something extra.
Set up your tip link in under 10 minutes
Create a free PayRequest account
Sign up and connect a PayPal account or crypto wallet — this is where your tips and donations will settle.
Create a 'tip jar' payment link
Choose 'name your price' so fans can send any amount, or set suggested amounts like €3 / €5 / €10.
Add a label fans will recognize
Call it something simple — 'Send me a tip', 'Buy me a coffee', or 'Support my content' — whatever fits your audience.
Put the link in your bio or pinned post
Add it to your Instagram, X or TikTok bio, or pin it to the top of your OnlyFans/Fansly profile if the platform allows outbound links.
Fans pay, you get notified
A fan taps the link, pays by card, PayPal or crypto — no account needed on their end — and the tip settles to your PayPal or wallet.
Ways to accept a tip, compared
| Method | Setup | Minimum amount | Payment methods | Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "DM me your PayPal" | None, but manual every time | None | PayPal only, if the fan has one | None — easy to lose track |
| Ko-fi / Buy Me a Coffee | Separate account, separate branding | Often a fixed amount per 'coffee' | Card, PayPal (varies by plan) | Basic, on their dashboard only |
| Platform 'tip' feature (if available) | None, but subject to platform rules & cut | Set by platform | Platform payment methods only | Inside platform only |
| Crypto wallet address posted publicly | None, but intimidating for non-crypto fans | None | Crypto only | On-chain only, no labels |
| PayRequest tip linkBest | 5 minutes, once | "Name your price" or suggested amounts | Cards, PayPal, Apple/Google Pay, crypto | Every tip logged in your dashboard |
For tips, gifts, and small extras
Models and creators wanting tips between posts
Not every fan wants to buy something specific — sometimes they just want to send appreciation. A flexible tip link gives them an easy way to do that.
Selling a one-off extra
A fan asks for one more photo or a short custom clip. Send them a fixed-price PayRequest link instead of negotiating payment details over DM.
Donations for a specific goal
Saving for new equipment, a trip, or a project? A 'name your price' donation link lets fans contribute toward something specific.
Fans without PayPal or crypto experience
Because checkout also accepts cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, fans who don't use PayPal or crypto can still tip you in seconds.
Why one link beats DM-based tipping
A dedicated tip link removes the back-and-forth, reaches fans regardless of what payment method they have, and gives you a clear record of every gift.
- A dedicated tip link removes the friction of asking 'what's your PayPal?' every time someone wants to send something extra.
- PayPal's 200+ market coverage plus card/Apple Pay/Google Pay support means almost any fan can pay, regardless of what they have set up.
- Crypto (USDC) settlement is instant and on-chain — useful if you'd rather not route tips through a bank at all.
- Every tip is logged with an amount and timestamp, so you always know what came in and when — unlike DM-based payments.
