Tipping Comics
Everyone who signs up gets a profile page whose URL they can customize if they go under "Comic Profile" in the menu.
If they have setup a Stripe account, they are automatically eligible for tipping where anyone can buy them a "drink". Each drink costs $5. Here is an example of such a page.
How do visitors tip comics?
When someone clicks "Support" on the comic page, a credit card form pops up and a user can enter their credit card information to tip the comic. The default is set at two drinks ($10) but the visitor to the page can customize how much they want to give.
Where does the money go?
The money is immediately deposited into the comic's Stripe account. If you do not have a Stripe account, the "Support" button will be grayed out.
Are there any fees?
Yes, Jump witholds the credit card processing cost which is 2.9% plus 30c.
In addition, Jump changes a small service fee ranging between 25 cents to $1:
- Tips less than or equal to $5: 25c
- Tips between $5.01 and $10: 50c
- Tips between $10.01 and $20: 75c
- Tips between $20.01 and higher: $1
Email notifications
The comic receives an email notification anytime someone has tipped them.
