Open your jar
Takes a minute. Your name, your page.
Got a following? Open a tip jar and let people tip you for a set, a session, a shoutout. One link, event or no event. Cash lands in your account.
How it works
Three steps. No app. No fuss.
Takes a minute. Your name, your page.
Bio, stories, a QR on the table. Wherever people are.
They tap, they tip. Money lands with you.
What people tip for
Make it specific. Tips land harder when people know what they’re buying into.
Why Crony
Add banking to open your link. Crony holds tips safely until verification, then future tips split automatically.
Bio, stories, posters, QR on the table.
Same tip jar, every surface.
A verified badge that says you’re real.
Tippers tip more when they trust the page.
Tippers can leave a line: “for the encore”, “cover the drinks”.
Nice to read later.
For performers
One link on the merch table, in your bio, or on the poster. Tips land in your account. Event night or no event.
Events
Tip jars love a night. See what’s on, then tip the set.
See what’s onEarn as you share
Your QR already pulls in donations. Soon it pays you back. Bring people to Crony, and when they join and go all-in, you get a little something.
The same one on your jar.
Friends open a jar too.
A little something back.
The more people that join using your link, the more it adds up. Nice, hey?
