live.tips
Streamers get live tip alerts. Now the stage does too.
The digital tip jar for live performers. One QR code on stage takes card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut & MobilePay — every card tip lands straight in your own Stripe account. No platform, no cut, no signup. Then the stage lights up: a live 3D jar fills as coins pour in, each name and message appears, and tonight's goal climbs where the whole room can see it. Open source, keys never leave your device, no server holding your money.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built live.tips for an almost embarrassingly simple reason: I never carry cash anymore. I'm out at bars a lot, there's nearly always someone playing live, and they're great — but their tip jar is a steel tin nobody can feed, or a QR code wired to one local payment app I don't have. Travelling? I literally can't tip them, even though I want to.
So I built the thing I wished existed. Two problems I really wanted to solve:
💳 One QR code, every way to pay. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut, MobilePay — all behind a single code taped to the guitar case. The fan just picks whatever's already on their phone, local or international. And the money is theirs: card tips go straight into the artist's own Stripe account, 0% cut from us, no signup. It's open source (MIT), and in the default setup there's no live.tips server at all — the app talks to Stripe and nowhere else, so there's no backend holding money to leak or hack.
✨ Make the jar come alive. This is the part I'm most excited about. Think of it as the physical tip jar, but digital — on a screen next to the stage. A live 3D jar fills up as coins pour in, each tipper's name and message pops up, and tonight's goal climbs in front of the whole room. When a band is killing it but the jar looks empty, that quiet visibility is a gentle nudge — and artists can play with it: "party people, we're only 20% to the goal — get us to 50% and we'll play the weirdest request you've got, Wonderwall included."
It runs in your browser right now — there's a full demo, no Stripe needed. Go toss a coin in the jar on the landing page and watch it splash in: https://live.tips
It's free, forever. I'd genuinely love your feedback 🙏
