Getting tipped

Guests tip you from their phone while you’re live, on their own or with a request. You set up payouts once and it follows you to every venue. The venue doesn’t touch it and doesn’t take a cut.

Setting up payouts

  1. 1
    Open Get tipped on your DJ page
    Press Set up payouts. It takes about five minutes.
  2. 2
    Give Stripe your details
    Identity and bank details go straight to Stripe, VYVE’s payments partner. VYVE never sees your bank or ID.
  3. 3
    Done
    The page reads You’re getting paid. Your tip button is on whenever you’re live.

Payouts are available for US bank accounts.

What guests see

WhereWhat
Tip the DJ buttonFloats on the guest’s Interact page while you’re live and your payouts are set up. Hidden otherwise.
The tip sheet$3, $5, $10 or $20, or any amount from $3 to $200, with an optional message (140 characters) and name. No account needed; the guest pays exactly the amount shown.
Skip to the topRight after a guest requests a song: tip and the request jumps to the top of your queue in gold. The sheet says you still decide what plays.
On the TVA “Tip for the DJ” moment with the guest’s name, for 8 seconds. The amount is never shown. It needs the guest to tick Put my name on the TV, and your Show tips on the TV setting in DJOS, which is on unless you turn it off.

In DJOS

Tipped requests carry a gold ring and a Tipped tag with the amount, and sort to the top of your queue, biggest tip first. Everything else keeps its order.

Refunds

If you or AI moderation reject a tipped request, the guest is refunded right away, automatically, with a backup check every five minutes in case the first attempt fails. The rejection is remembered even if you clear the queue afterwards. A tipped request you clear while it is still pending, without playing or rejecting it, keeps the tip.

Fees and payouts

WhatHow it works
Card fees2.9% plus 30¢ comes out of each tip, about 45¢ on $5.
On a VYVE planIf you own or run a VYVE workspace on a paid plan, you keep every dollar; VYVE covers the card fees. A venue’s plan doesn’t change this; it’s yours.
When it reaches youTips land in your bank on Stripe’s regular payout schedule. Payouts and bank details are under Payouts and bank.
Cash out nowWhen Stripe can pay your balance out instantly, a Cash out now box appears with the amount ready. It goes to your bank or debit card, usually within 30 minutes.
Note
Who gets the tip
The DJ holding the night when the guest pays. If you hand the night over, tips after the switch go to the DJ you handed to.
