Setting Up the Tippy Mobile App: Staff Tasks

Before staff members can receive tips through MeevoTips, they must create a Tippy account and connect it to the business.

During setup:

  1. Staff will download the Tippy mobile app.
  2. Join the business using the Company Code.
  3. Create a Branch account for tip deposits.

Once setup is complete, employees can manage their tip funds and begin receiving tips through MeevoTips.

What is Branch and do I need it to use Tippy?

Branch is our partner that provides you instant access to your earned tips through their digital wallet and a provided debit card. You will need to create your Branch account within the Tippy App in order for the two systems to connect with each other.

  • If you skipped over this step in the initial setup of your app, you can go back later and tap on Connect to Branch under Deposits in your home screen or tap on your Profile > Wallets > Connect to Branch.
  • After creating a Branch account in the Tippy Mobile App, you can download the Branch app to finish completing your profile. 
  • While waiting for your Branch debit card to come in the mail, we recommend connecting to Apple / Google Pay as another means of accessing your funds. 

How do employees access their tips?

Employees receive their tips through Branch, our digital wallet partner. During setup, each employee creates a Branch account, which provides several options for accessing their earned tips:

  • Spend funds immediately using a Branch Debit Card.
  • Transfer funds instantly to a personal bank account for a small fee.
  • Transfer funds to a personal bank account at no cost, typically within 2–3 business days.

 

Setting up the Tippy Mobile App

For this step, staff members will download the Tippy App and set up an account. 

  1. Install the Tippy Mobile App from iOS App Store or Google Play.
  2. Follow the Account Creation prompts.
    • You’ll be asked for your email address and password.
    • A security code will be sent to your email address to verify your account.
  3. The app will then ask you for basic contact information:
    • Phone Number, Legal First and Last Name, Nickname, Date of Birth, Home Address.
    • This information should match what is listed on your government issued documentation.
  4. Add your Company Code.
    • You should ask your manager or owner for this code.
    • This is what pairs your Tippy Account to the business you work for.
  5. Create a Branch account. Branch is our digital wallet partner that allows you to manage your funds based on your personal needs!
    • You can order a Branch Debit Card or connect your personal bank account for easy transfers.
    • You will need to create your Branch account within the Tippy app in order for the two systems to connect with each other.
    • If you skip over this step, you can go back later and tap on Connect to Branch under Deposits in your home screen or tap on your Profile > Wallets > Connect to Branch.
  6. Finally, add your best headshot so clients know who they are tipping.
  7. If you haven't already, download the Branch App and finish setting up your profile.
