The way tipping should work

TapTip
Tap. Tip. Empower.

TapTip makes it easy for anyone providing a service to get paid, with no bank account needed. Guests tip with Apple Pay, Google Pay, card or mobile money. Guides receive kwacha on mobile money the same day.

Apple Pay and Google Pay work right in the phone's browser. Face ID or fingerprint and it's done. Guests can also pay by card or with MTN, Airtel or Zamtel mobile money. Card details go to our licensed payment partners, never to TapTip.

A guest just tipped you $20. We'll send it today.

After a short safety check, the tip arrives on MTN, Airtel or Zamtel mobile money. The guide gets an SMS when it's on the way and when it lands.

I'm a guide I run a business

Tap. Tip. Empower.

Every tip goes straight to the guide, driver or waiter who earned it, on their own mobile money.

For lodges, operators & businesses

Your guests want to tip. Most don't carry kwacha.

Lodges, tour operators, hotels, restaurants: TapTip turns every guide, driver, waiter and team member into someone guests can thank on the spot, without a card machine, an app, or cash at reception.

  • No hardware, no card machine, no setup cost
  • Guests pay with the phone already in their hand
  • Every fee shown up front: no surprises for your guests
  • No cash to count, split or safeguard at reception

Questions

Do guests need to download an app?

No. The QR code opens a normal web page in their phone's browser. Apple Pay and Google Pay work right there.

Do guides need a bank account?

No. Tips are paid in kwacha to MTN, Airtel or Zamtel mobile money. You can spend it, send it or cash out at any agent.

How much does it cost?

Joining is free for guides, staff and businesses. A small service fee is shown clearly on every tip before the guest pays. We'll confirm the final rate before launch.

Does TapTip hold my money?

No. TapTip is a technology service. Guest payments are processed by licensed payment partners, and tips go straight to the guide's mobile money. Card details never touch our servers.

Why isn't the money instant?

Tips arrive the same day. A short safety check between payment and payout protects guides and lodges from card fraud.

When is TapTip launching?

We're getting ready to launch in Zambia. Waitlist members hear from us first, with dates for their area.
