How to Set Tip Amounts on Your brandID Tip Jar

Table of Contents

Choosing the right preset tip amounts makes a big difference in how much your fans actually give. Here’s how to set them up, and how to think about pricing.

Adding Tip Amounts

  1. In the Details step of the wizard, scroll to “Add amounts people can choose to pay you.”
  2. Type a number (e.g., 5) in the dollar field.
  3. Click the + button. The amount appears as a chip below the field (e.g., $5 ×).
  4. Repeat for each preset (e.g., $5, $15, $25, $50).
  5. Remove any amount by clicking the × on its chip.

How Many Tip Amounts Should You Offer?

Three to five preset amounts is the sweet spot. Too few feels limiting; too many overwhelms fans into picking nothing.

A Few Notes on the Pricing Strategy

  • The “small commitment” amount ($1–$5): Lowers the psychological barrier — anyone can afford it.
  • The “default” amount ($10–$25): Where most tippers will land. Make this one feel reasonable but generous.
  • The “true fan” amount ($50–$100+): For your most engaged supporters. Even if a few people pick it, it anchors all the other amounts as feeling reasonable.

Required: You must add at least one tip amount before you can move to the next step.
