cashless tipping, made simple

In the space of a few weeks in late 2023 we were lucky to learn a few new things including skiing, mountaineering, and wilderness survival. In each case expert instructors and guides kept us safe in risky environments. Each of them were great teachers with a good sense of humour, and they frequently went above and beyond. We wanted to tip them. But, like so many people, we don't carry cash.

The experience of paying cashless tips was frustrating and clumsy. We found that it unnecessarily infringed the privacy of those that we wanted to tip; to make the transaction we often needed people to give us their personal phone number, e-mail address, or in one case their home address!

The barrier to making cashless tips shouldn't be so high. We wanted to make it easier to reward those who go the extra mile. tippl was born.
