What is Tippy?

Tippy is a company that revolutionized how service industry tips are handled. Our integration sends your workers service totals to a client-facing iPad to select tip amounts and then close the ticket with one credit card swipe, dip or tap! Workers will have instant access to their tips to their bank account and they are notified about each tip via their Tippy app. Additionally, business owners save on credit card processing fees. A big win-win for companies that were spending time & money distributing nightly cash tips or paying thousands in card processing for worker tips.
