# Tip page

> Set up your KickBot tip page for Kick: turn tips on, use test mode, and set a custom URL, tip amounts, message length, allowed TTS voices and GIFs.

Source: https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/tip-page

Your tip page is the public page where viewers send you tips, at `kickbot.com/tips/yourchannel`. You control it on **Tipping > Payment page**: turn tips on or off, try it in test mode, add a banner and a description, and choose the amounts, the message length, the TTS voices and whether viewers can add a GIF.

You need an active Stripe account first. See [set up tipping](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/set-up-tipping).

## Turn on your tip page

1. Open [kickbot.com/dashboard/tipping/payment-page](https://kickbot.com/dashboard/tipping/payment-page), or click **Tipping** in the left menu, then **Payment page**.
2. Turn on **Enable tips**.
3. Leave **Test mode** on while you try it. Send yourself a few tips from your tip page and check that they play through the [tip widget](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/tip-alerts).
4. Turn **Test mode** off. Now viewers pay real money.
5. Click **Copy URL** under the group and share the link in your Kick bio, your panels and in chat. A [custom command](https://kickbot.com/docs/chat-bot/custom-commands) such as `!tip` that posts the link works well.

Switches and the message length save at once. The other rows open a panel with its own **Save** button.

> **Note:** A new tip page starts with test mode on and tips off. Nothing is charged until you turn both switches the right way.

## Tip page settings

| Setting | What it does | Default and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Enable tips | When off, viewers cannot send tips. The page shows "yourchannel has paused tips". Tips that are already in the queue still play. | Off for a new page |
| Test mode | Viewers (and you) can send tips without paying. A yellow bar on the tip page says that test mode is active. | On for a new page |
| Banner image | A wide image at the top of your tip page. You crop it to 4:1 when you upload it. | A default image when empty |
| Description | Short text under your name, for example "Thanks for the support!" | Empty |
| Page URL | Your tip page link. Click **Copy URL** or **Open**. | `kickbot.com/tips/<your Kick name>` |

### Test mode

In test mode, the whole flow works without a payment:

- The tip goes to your queue with a **Test** badge and plays on stream with TTS.
- KickBot posts "(TEST) viewer123 just tipped $5.00!" in your Kick chat.
- Test tips do not count in [Earnings](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/earnings-and-payouts).

### Custom address

With Premium, click **Custom address** to pick your own link, for example `kickbot.com/tips/yourbrand`. The address must be at least 4 characters and must not be in use by another tip page or another Kick channel name.

Links with your Kick name always keep working. If you change an older custom address, links to the old custom address stop working, so KickBot asks you to confirm first.

![The Custom address panel with the Page URL box](https://kickbot.com/docs/images/tipping/tip-page/04-custom-address.webp "Custom address (Premium)")

> **Note:** On the Free plan, your tip page address is your Kick name. The rest of the tip page works the same.

## Tip options

![The Tip options group with Minimum, Default, Maximum and Preset amounts, and the Messages and TTS group](https://kickbot.com/docs/images/tipping/tip-page/02-tip-options.webp "Tip options and Messages and TTS")

All amounts are in US dollars. Click a row to edit all amounts in one panel, then click **Save**.

| Setting | What it does | Default and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | The lowest tip a viewer can send. | $1. From $1 to $499. |
| Default | The amount that is selected when the page opens. | $2 for a new page. Must be between the minimum and the maximum. |
| Maximum | The highest tip a viewer can send. | $500. From $1 to $500. |
| Preset amounts | Quick amount buttons on your tip page. Add or remove buttons in the panel. | $3, $5, $10. Each must be between the minimum and the maximum. |

Viewers can also type any amount between your minimum and maximum. A low preset makes small tips easy.

## Messages and TTS

| Setting | What it does | Default and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Message length limit | The longest message a viewer can write. | 150 characters. From 1 to 150. |
| Allowed TTS voices | The voices viewers can pick to read their message. | Official voices for a new page |
| Allow GIFs | Viewers can add a GIF to their tip. It shows on stream with the message. | Off for a new page |
| Read username | KickBot reads the tipper's name and amount before the message, for example "viewer123 just tipped $5... Love the stream!". Without a name, it reads "Anonymous". | On |

Every tip needs a message. A viewer can turn the voice off; then the tip shows on stream without being read out.

### Choose the allowed voices

1. Click **Allowed TTS voices**.
2. Tick the voices you want. Use **Enable all**, **Disable all** or **Official only** to change many at once, or search by name.
3. Click **Save**.

![The Allowed TTS voices panel with Default voices ticked](https://kickbot.com/docs/images/tipping/tip-page/03-allowed-voices.webp "Pick the voices viewers can use for tips")

The panel has two lists: **Default voices**, which every channel can use, and **AI voices**. With **Enable all**, new voices that KickBot adds later are also allowed. Your own [voice clones](https://kickbot.com/docs/tts/voice-cloning) can be used on your tip page too. To learn more about voices, see [voice library](https://kickbot.com/docs/tts/voice-library).

> **Note:** On the Free plan, tips can use the default voices only. AI voices on tips need Premium.

## What viewers see

![A KickBot tip page with a banner, amount buttons, name and message boxes, and the tip summary](https://kickbot.com/docs/images/tipping/tip-page/05-public-tip-page.webp "A tip page as a viewer sees it")

The tip page shows your banner, your Kick picture and name, your description and a **Live** or **Offline** badge. Viewers pick an amount, add an optional name (up to 20 characters), write a message, pick a voice and an optional GIF, accept the terms and pay through Stripe. The guide [how to tip on Kick](https://kickbot.com/guides/viewers/how-to-tip-on-kick) shows the steps from the viewer's side.

Before checkout, KickBot checks the name and message against your [tip moderation](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/tip-moderation) filters. A blocked tip is never charged.

## Troubleshooting

**Viewers see "Tipping is currently not available".** Your Stripe account is not active. Check [Payout settings](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/set-up-tipping#stripe-account-status).

**The Tip button says "yourchannel has paused tips".** **Enable tips** is off. Turn it on here or with **Accept new tips** on the [tip queue](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/tip-queue).

**"Payment page with this URL already exists."** Another tip page or Kick channel uses that address. Pick a different one.

**"Suggested amount must be a number between minimum and maximum amount."** The default amount is outside your range. Change the default, the minimum or the maximum.

**Tips do not play.** The tip widget is not open in OBS. See [tip alerts](https://kickbot.com/docs/tipping/tip-alerts).

## FAQ

**Where do I find my Kick tip link?**

On Tipping > Payment page, under the Tip page group. It is `kickbot.com/tips/` followed by your Kick name, or your custom address with Premium. Click Copy URL to copy it.

**Can I try tipping without paying?**

Yes. Turn on Test mode, then send a tip from your own tip page. It plays on stream like a real tip, and nobody is charged.

**What is the lowest and highest tip on KickBot?**

You can set the minimum from $1 and the maximum up to $500.
