A memorable tour almost always ends with travelers wanting to tip the guide — and realizing they spent their cash hours ago, or only have foreign bills. ScanToTIP gives guides, drivers and outfitters a QR code to show or print on a card. Travelers scan, tip in seconds, and the guide is credited — even on the move, with no terminal.

Why it works

Tipping that travels

Works anywhere the tour goes

Show a code on a phone or lanyard card — on the bus, the trail or the boat. No signal-heavy hardware to lug.

No cash, no currency problem

International travelers tip with the card or wallet already on their phone — no local bills required.

Guides, drivers, outfitters

Each person or team gets a code, so tips reach the right guide at the end of the day.
