For tour guides
QR code tipping for tour guides
Tourists rarely carry local cash. A QR code at the end of the tour makes it effortless for them to say thanks.
Show your Paytapper QR code on your phone or a printed card as the tour wraps up. Guests scan it with their own phone camera, choose an amount, and pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay — no currency exchange, no app to install, no local bank account needed.
It works for solo guides and freelancers just as well as for guides running private or group tours, and pairs naturally with online tour bookings.
