Payroll Integration for Digital Tips

Digital tips that flow to staff through your existing payroll

Tips collected digitally settle to your property's own Stripe account in standard 1-2 business days, then reach each named employee through your existing payroll process. Every gratuity is attributed, recorded, and exportable, so there is no cash to handle and one clean, auditable trail from the guest's phone to the employee's paycheck.

One clean trail from guest to paycheck

When a guest tips, the payment settles to your property's own Stripe account on a standard 1-2 business-day schedule, attributed to the named employee who earned it. You then pay those amounts to staff through the payroll process you already run - no cash to count, no jar to split, and no reconstructing who got what. The digital record and the payroll record line up, so tax and compliance stay straightforward.

FAQs

A guest tips digitally by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and the funds settle to the property's own Stripe account within standard 1-2 business days. Each tip is attributed to the named employee who earned it, so the property pays those amounts to staff through its existing payroll process. The result is one auditable trail: digital collection, Stripe settlement, then payroll distribution.

Tips settle to the property's own Stripe account on Stripe's standard payout schedule, which is 1-2 business days. From there the property distributes the attributed amounts to each employee through its normal payroll run, so staff are paid the right way with full records rather than through cash handed out at the desk.

Yes. Because every tip is captured digitally and attributed to a named employee, you get accurate, exportable records of who earned what and when. Paying those tips through payroll means gratuities are documented alongside wages, which keeps tax reporting and compliance straightforward and removes the guesswork that comes with untracked cash.

Yes. A guest can tip an individual employee or contribute to a shared pool, and both paths produce clean records. Pooled tips are distributed across an eligible team evenly or by configured percentage, and the resulting per-employee amounts feed the same payroll process, so allocation stays fair and every payout is documented.

It does. Guests pay digitally, funds settle to the property's Stripe account, and staff are paid through payroll, so there is no cash to collect, count, secure, or split at the desk. Removing cash from the process reduces disputes and shrinkage while giving every employee a transparent record of their tips.

Each employee gets a personal dashboard showing today's, this week's, and this month's earnings, with per-tip detail. That per-tip attribution matches what flows through payroll, so staff can reconcile their take-home pay against what they see in the dashboard and operators can track gratuity volume and trends across the property.
