Payments & Invoicing

Turn tips on or off

Last updated September 2026 · v1.0

You can let clients add a tip when they pay an invoice online. Tipping is on or off with a single toggle, and tips go 100% to you.

The short version
  1. Open Tipping in Settings.
  2. Toggle Accept tips from clients on or off.
  3. Save.

On your phone

  1. On the Settings tab, tap Tipping.
  2. Turn Accept tips from clients on or off. Optionally set suggested tip percentages and allow a custom amount.
  3. Tap Save Changes.

On the web

  1. In the left sidebar, open Settings, then Tipping.
  2. Toggle Accept tips from clients, set your suggested percentages, and click Save Changes.

Good to know

  • Tips are 100% yours. Chester never takes a cut of a tip, and the 5% service fee applies only to your service total, never the tip.
  • Tipping appears when clients pay online, so it needs online payments (Stripe) set up.
