Client tipping

Make appreciation easy to give—and easy to account for.

Booking Bible lets eligible clients leave a card tip after a delivered class or service. Venues choose whether tipping is enabled, staff can opt out, and every successful tip remains tied to the correct venue, client and recipient.

Tip collection is included in current standard plan feature sets when connected payments, venue settings and staff preferences allow it. Advanced reports require the applicable reporting tier; pooled allocation, payroll and compensation workflows require the Commission Engine add-on.

Questions, answered

What to know about client tipping

Short answers to the practical questions teams ask before rollout.

Can a client tip without leaving a review?
Yes. The tip-only API and client flow can collect a tip without requiring a review.
Can staff opt out of tips?
Yes. A staff preference can suppress tipping even when the venue enables it.
Are tips paid through the venue’s payment account?
Yes. The payment flow uses the venue’s connected provider context and records the resulting payment status.
Does basic tipping include payroll?
No. Tip collection and basic records are separate from advanced allocation, payroll and compensation reporting.
