If you're signed up for a paid session on StartPlaying and have entered the card info, you'll be charged automatically 1 hour into your session time. There may come a time when you want to pay your GM a little extra.
Maybe your party decides to play an extra hour or two to finish an epic battle, and you want to compensate the GM for the extra time. Maybe you want to leave a little tip for an awesome session. Or maybe it's a StartPlaying charity event, and you want to use custom payments to donate in exchange for dice re-rolls.
Whatever your reasoning, here's how to send a Custom Payment/Tip through StartPlaying.
