Which link in bio tools let me accept tips or donations?

Several tools can do this:

• Linktree — lets you collect tips or donations through payment options such as PayPal, Venmo, or Square. Linktree also offers tips through its Messaging feature; availability and fees can depend on your country and plan. (linktr.ee)
• Beacons — has a Support Form/Button on your bio page; it uses Stripe, and Beacons says you keep the contribution minus card-processing fees. (beacons.ai)
• Ko-fi — gives you a page where people can leave tips, which you can put directly in your social bio or add to another link-in-bio page. Supporters pay you through PayPal or Stripe. (help.ko-fi.com)
• Lnk.Bio — you can embed a Ko-fi button or form on your page. (lnk.bio)

Quick pick: Ko-fi if you mainly want a tip jar; Linktree or Beacons if you want tips alongside your other links. Check payment availability and fees for your country before choosing.

Several link-in-bio tools let you take tips or donations. Beacons, Linktree, and Lnk.Bio are the most commonly recommended. Fees and plan details change often, so check each vendor's pricing page before you commit.

• Beacons: Reviewers describe it as a strong pick for earning from a bio page. It builds tipping, product sales, memberships, and gated content right into the page. The catch is on the free plan, where one review says the free plan takes a 9% transaction fee on sales.
• Linktree: Tips are handled through an add-on. There are even Link Apps to help you make money, like a Tip Jar app that you can use to collect donations. One source puts the free-plan sales fee at 12%, so check that before relying on it.
• Lnk.Bio: This is the low-cost option. One review says Lnk.Bio has a special Donation feature, enabling followers to tip creators without imposing any charges or commissions. Another notes it suits minimalists who want unlimited links and a tip jar without a monthly fee.
• brandID: One review calls it an all-in-one creator monetization platform and a completely free link in bio tool. It supports subscriptions, memberships, and tips on every plan.
• Hopp (by Wix): It lets you sell digital products, offer services, collect tips or donations, take bookings, and accept payments. The vendor says it has no transaction fees, though that's a vendor claim.
• Onlink: Per one comparison, it covers donations and tips, on every plan, with a 10% fee on the free plan.
• Viraly: It offers tipping buttons (PayPal, Stripe, crypto) alongside product showcases and email collection.
• Koji: It handles tips through interactive widgets. These include tip jars, Q&As, polls, games, custom video messages, and more. One reviewer rates its core link management as weaker.
• Biosites (Squarespace): Tips are added through a Stripe/PayPal "Tip Jar" to accept donations. Its free plan takes an 8% transaction fee on sales.

If you're mainly after tips, Lnk.Bio or brandID look cheapest on paper. If you also want to sell products, Beacons, Hopp, or Onlink cover more ground. The sources here are mostly comparison blogs, some of which may be affiliate-driven, so confirm current fees and whether tips are included on the free tier directly with each provider.

Many popular link-in-bio tools offer built-in features to accept tips, donations, or payments directly from your landing page.

Because these platforms often take a commission on transactions or require a paid subscription to access monetization features, it is a good idea to check the specific fee structure before you choose.

Popular Tools with Tipping & Donation Features

• Linktree: One of the most widely used platforms, Linktree offers "Commerce Links" that allow you to collect tips, donations, and payments. It integrates with services like PayPal, Venmo, and Square to facilitate these transactions.
• Beacons: Designed specifically for creators, Beacons includes a dedicated "Support" block for tips and donations. It is generally considered a strong choice if you also plan to sell digital products, courses, or offer paid requests (e.g., Q&As or custom videos).
• Stan Store: While often categorized as a "creator storefront" rather than a simple link list, it is highly effective if your primary goal is monetization. It handles digital products, bookings, and payments seamlessly.
• Lnk.Bio: This platform also supports tipping and donation features and is often noted for being a budget-friendly option.
• Taplink: Known for its landing-page-style builder, Taplink allows for various monetization blocks and is often used by small businesses and creators for e-commerce and payment collection.

Things to Consider Before Choosing

• Transaction Fees: Most free plans on these platforms charge a seller fee (often ranging from 8% to 9% or more) on the tips or payments you receive. Upgrading to a paid tier can sometimes lower or eliminate these commission fees.
• Platform Policies: Always review the terms of service for the platform you choose. For example, some platforms (like Linktree) have strict community standards and prohibit the collection of payments or donations for specific types of content, such as adult media.
• Your Goal: If you only need a tip jar, you might find that simpler tools or even direct links to your PayPal or Ko-fi page work just as well without needing a full link-in-bio suite. However, if you want to sell products, bookings, or memberships alongside tips, all-in-one creator platforms like Beacons or Stan Store are typically the most efficient options.

Several link-in-bio tools offer a way to collect tips or donations:

• Lnk.Bio — has a built-in Tip Jar for ongoing support or campaigns; it says it takes no platform fee. ⁷
• Pushbio — offers a “Tips and Donations” block with custom or preset amounts and payment-method integration. ¹
• Beacons — offers a built-in tipping feature for creator support. ⁴
• Direct.me — supports tips and donations and says it charges no platform fee; payment processor fees may still apply. ⁵
• UniLink — offers a donation block connected to Stripe or PayPal, according to its product comparison page. ²

If you’re open to linking out rather than taking payment directly on the page, many tools can also host a button to services like Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, or PayPal. Check each tool’s current availability, supported countries, and transaction fees before choosing.
