Upcoming: full tip principal for workers
We are preparing a model in which workers are entitled to 100% of the original tip and guests pay one service fee. Workers pay applicable, disclosed currency-conversion and transfer costs at withdrawal; these are separate from tip principal.
This model is not active yet. Current payments follow the charges, recipient credits, and terms in their transaction records.
New income, not a new cost
A clear way to recognize service, with tipping optional.
Guests who carry cash keep tipping in cash, exactly as today. Guests who don’t can now thank you from their phone, and that tip is potential income you were not receiving before.
