Tips, payments and purchases

Tip

A thank-you for great service. The full tip goes to the person you're tipping.

Payment

Pay someone for their work or services, for the amount you've agreed.

Storefront purchase

Some sellers have an optional Storefront where you pick products and pay. Prices are set by the seller and confirmed at checkout.

Before you pay

Service fee

A small Service fee is added on top so the person you pay receives the full amount. It's always shown before you pay.

Payment methods

The methods you can use depend on the recipient's country and are shown at checkout, such as card and, where supported, digital wallets or local options.

Receipts

You'll see a confirmation after paying. With a free account, your sent tips and payments are kept in your Activity.
