Ask our AI assistantThe tips button is a variation of the Donations Form block, preconfigured as a pop-up with a “Buy me a coffee” label and a coffee icon (and you can customize the text and icon). It uses Stripe to process credit and debit card payments.
Tips and donations both collect payments through Stripe. The tips button is designed for quick, one-off support, while a donation form suits charitable giving and recurring contributions.
The first time you use a payment feature, you’ll be prompted to connect a Stripe account.
