TackPay Partnership
Last updated: September 19, 2025
Overview
TackPay is a digital tipping platform that enables cashless gratuities through QR codes or digital links – no app download required. It allows tour operators, guides, and hospitality staff to easily collect and manage tips in real time. TackPay supports both individual and pooled tipping (where allowed by region), offers full customization of tip jars, and provides reporting dashboards for transparency. With minimal setup required, it’s an ideal solution for tours, food experiences, and hospitality providers looking to modernize their tipping flow.
How it Works
TackPay integrates seamlessly into the FareHarbor client experience. The client simply adds their customized tipping links to confirmation, reminder, and follow up emails.
A client can set up a virtual tip jar that works either with individual staff profiles or as a single company account collecting tips centrally. TackPay links or QR codes can then be added to confirmation emails, follow-up emails, printed signage (e.g., at check-in desks or guide badges), or booking flows.
TackPay allows three tipping setups, which can be configured at the jar or account level:
- Tip pooling – all tips go into a shared jar and are distributed among team members according to the rules and methods defined by the business.
- Individual tipping – the business creates a team profile and invites staff members. Each tip is then directed to the specific team member chosen by the customer.
- Centralized company tipping – the business collects all tips in a single company profile and later redistributes them through payroll.
In Europe, all three setups are available. In the US, Canada, and Australia, individual tipping and centralized company tipping are supported. FareHarbor clients sign up in minutes using a referral link or invite code. Once registered, they can customize branding, tip settings, and placement.
