Tip Payouts for Employees


Counting cash tips and ensuring there is enough on hand can create unnecessary obstacles after a tiring day. Tip Payouts offers a solution by digitally transferring earned tips directly to your debit account. With an immediate transfer, you and your team won't have to wait on-site or for payroll to receive tips.

Prerequisites

⚠️ Access to Tip Payouts must be enabled by the Admin of the Account.

⚠️ To receive funds, Employees must have (1) a debit card, and (2) use the 7shifts mobile app. 

Don't have a debit card?
We recommend taking a look at Chime . Chime provides a Visa Debit Card® with a Checking Account that can be managed directly from a smartphone. Learn more about it here!
