Everything people ask, in one place. 💠
The basics 🐷
"What is a Tip?"
Money sent to a creator because someone wants to. Not a purchase — nothing unlocked, nothing owed.
"Do I need to understand crypto?"
No. Press the button, choose an amount, confirm.
"Do I need a wallet?"
No.
"What's USDC?"
A digital dollar that holds a steady value. 💵
"Is this the same as buying content?"
No. Content purchases are separate. Tips stand alone.
"Where do Tips work?"
UK, EU and US. 🌍
Amounts 💷
"How much can I tip?"
$5 minimum, $1,000 maximum. Quick picks at $10, $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500, or type your own.
"Why dollars?"
Tips run on USDC, which is dollar-based. One currency, everywhere.
"Why is my local figure different from my statement?"
The local figure is indicative. Your bank converts at its own rate. The dollar amount is what you approved, and the rate is locked at the transaction. 🔒
"Can I tip more than $1,000?"
Not in one Tip.
For creators 🏦
"When do I get it?"
Once the payment has cleared the required checks, it's settled to you through the stablecoin infrastructure — without waiting for the Friday cycle. ⚡
"Is there a reserve on Tips?"
No Spenny Piggy reserve. Our provider may apply its own risk controls.
"Do I need anything set up?"
Spenny Piggy verification plus any additional provider onboarding. Both. 📌
"Do Tips count toward my bonuses?"
Toward qualifying, yes — the £2,500 Founder threshold and the £1,000 referral threshold. Not toward the bonus percentage. See Tips & the Founder Bonus. 📊
"Do I need a Stripe Connect account for Tips?"
Not to receive Tips. But you do to receive bonuses — without one they sit pending. 🏦
"Can I still receive crypto elsewhere?"
Of course.
"Do the posting rules apply?"
The 3-posts-in-28-days rule governs recurring features. Tips aren't one.
Safety ⚖️
"Is crypto exempt from ID checks?"
No. Same KYC, AML, sanctions and fraud checks as every other payment here. 🛡️
"How do I know I'm tipping the right person?"
Every creator is identity-verified, and the Tip button sits on their verified profile. ✅
"Someone DM'd me a wallet address."
That isn't how this works. Don't send anything. Report it. 🚨
Problems ⚠️
"My Tip failed."
Message us through the chat with the date and amount. 💬
"Can I get a refund?"
⚠️ [PENDING FINAL COINFLOW CONFIRMATION] — refund mechanics are being confirmed with our payment provider. Message us and we'll help.
