Encore

Built for the corner

Cashless tips for the street performer's case.

Tape one QR to your case. Tourists, locals, the delivery kid rushing past — anyone with a phone tips you in ten seconds. No app download. No “what's your Venmo”. You keep 90–95% of every tip.

Ten seconds from scan to tip cleared.

01

Print it. Tape it.

Print your Encore poster at 8.5×11 on any home printer, laminate it, tape it inside your case so it's visible under a $20.

02

They scan.

Kid walks by. Phone camera opens your page. Apple Pay pops up. $5 tip confirmed before they're past you.

03

Keep playing.

Tip clears to your Stripe bank in 1–2 days. Page flashes green — they see it went through. They move on smiling.

Every way it beats the Sharpie sign.

Street performer questions.

Does the QR work if I'm outside with no Wi-Fi?

Yes. The scan uses the tipper's cell data, not yours. Anywhere a phone has signal, it works.

Can I laminate it without killing the QR?

Yes. Error-correction-H QR codes print clean through standard laminate. Tested on 100+ real-world prints.

Do I need an LLC or a business Stripe account?

No. Stripe Express onboards you as an individual in about 5 minutes. Bank, address, done.

What if I already have a Venmo handle people know?

Keep it. Add it as a payment chip on your page — it shows up right next to Apple Pay. Let the tipper pick what's fastest.

Tomorrow's corner pays better.
