Nobody carries cash any more.
That sentence sounds harmless until you earn on your feet. Ask a dancer, a bartender, a server, a host, a performer — anyone whose income depends on the moment somebody wants to say thank you with money. The want did not go away. The cash did.
So the moment breaks. Someone reaches for a pocket that has nothing in it, apologises, says they will get you next time, and walks off. Multiply that by a whole night and you can feel exactly how much money quietly evaporated.
The workaround was never good enough
Everyone tried the same things. Shout your Cash App over the music. Write your Venmo on a napkin. Print a QR code and hope somebody opens their camera. Every one of those adds friction at the exact moment when the person was already willing.
And friction at the willing moment is where money dies. Not because people are cheap — because they got distracted, or the handle was misheard, or they typed it wrong, or the song changed and the moment passed.
The want was always there. The path from want to paid was the broken part.
So we made the path one tap long
NipTip is a pastie with an NFC chip inside it. Someone holds their phone to it and your payment link opens on their screen. Cash App, Venmo, PayPal — whatever you put on it. They send the tip. The whole thing takes about four seconds.
There is nothing for them to download. There is nothing for you to charge, sync or set up on the night. Your pair arrives already programmed.
The part we refuse to change
The money goes from them straight to you. It does not route through NipTip. We do not hold it, we do not process it, and we do not take a percentage — not because we are generous, but because the whole point was to stop putting things between you and your money.
You keep 100%. Every time. There is no tier where that stops being true.
Who this is actually for
Dancers and performers first, because they felt it first and hardest. But also: pole athletes and instructors, bartenders, servers, hosts and house moms, festival and rave regulars, creators, and anyone who has ever had a great night financially ruined by an empty ATM.
We build in every shade and every size because the people who do this work are every shade and every size. If you cannot find your match, tell us and we will make it.
What happens next
Pick a design. Enter your payment link. We program it and ship it in 1 to 3 business days, and it arrives ready to wear.
Then the next time somebody wants to tip you and reaches for a pocket with nothing in it, you will not lose the money. They will just tap you.
