Tipping Feature #
All podcast plans have the option to enable the tipping feature on the podcast website. This is done from the Monetization module in your PodOps Hosting account.
Log in to PodOpsHost.com and click Monetization in the left menu. Here you will find all the tools you need to enable tipping on your podcast website.
Getting Started – Stripe or PayPal #
Before you begin – please note you can only connect one payment platform (Stripe/PayPal). You can disconnect and connect to another at any time, but you can’t connect more than one payment platform at a time.
Connect With Stripe: Select your country from the dropdown and then click Connect With Stripe to create a Stripe account. Stripe will open in a new window, be sure your pop-up blocker is disabled. Follow the prompts to complete the Stripe setup process. This will allow you to deposit tips directly into your organization’s bank account.
Connect With PayPal: Click Connect With PayPal to create a PayPal account. PayPal will open in a new window, be sure your pop-up blocker is disabled. Follow the prompts to complete the PayPal setup process. This will allow you to deposit tips directly into your organization’s bank account.
Please Note: PodOps Hosting does not store or have access to your Stripe or PayPal account or banking information.
Tipping Tab #
After successfully connecting Stripe or PayPal, navigate to the Tipping Tab. Customize the text that appears on your podcast website. By default, the text above the tip amounts reads, Support My Podcast. Change this to anything you like, utilizing up to 250 characters.
You can also add up to four tipping amounts, in any amount that you would like.
Finally, toggle ON the Enable Gratuity feature next to one or more of your podcasts. Once this is complete, the tipping feature will be active on your podcast website(s).
IMPORTANT: If you toggle on Enable Gratuity, but have NOT connected a Stripe or PayPal account, the tipping feature will not appear on your podcast website.
