Use Case: Street Performer – Letting Fans Tip with Just a Scan

Street performers bring life and energy to public spaces, creating unforgettable moments for passersby. But relying on cash tips can limit earnings, especially as fewer people carry coins or small bills. As a street performer, you need an easy way to accept digital tips on the spot — without interrupting the flow of your performance.

By placing a clearly visible QR code on your guitar case, signboard, or even your instrument, fans can instantly scan and send a tip through their preferred payment app. This makes it effortless for people to show appreciation, even if they only have a phone on hand. It also opens the door to higher contributions, as digital payments aren’t constrained by what’s in someone’s wallet.

This approach modernizes busking while keeping the charm and spontaneity of live street performance alive. It lowers barriers for your audience to support you and can help build a loyal following — with the added bonus of linking to your social profiles or upcoming gig schedule after the tip is sent.
