The money finally reaches the music.
Hipstarr lets your fans send you money directly. Your full tip reaches you. We add a small, visible fee on top, never out of your share.
Three steps, nothing hidden.
A fan picks a tip
They open your Hipstarr page and choose any amount they want to send you.
The fee shows on top
Hipstarr's fee is added on top of the tip and shown plainly before they pay, so the fan knows exactly where every part goes.
You receive the full tip
Your share settles to your account through trusted processors. You keep 100% of what the fan tipped.
Artists keep the whole tip. We earn from a fee on top.
Hipstarr never takes a cut out of an artist's tip. Our revenue is a transparent fee the fan pays on top of what they choose to send. That's the entire business model.
A fan tipping ₦10,000 pays ₦11,000. The artist receives the full ₦10,000.
A fan tipping $10 pays $12. The artist receives the full $10. The higher fee covers international card and currency costs.
African artists are heard everywhere. The money should reach them where they actually are.
Hipstarr is built for independent African artists making Afrocentric music that connects back home, whether they live in Africa or across the diaspora. And it's for the fans who love them on both sides: at home and abroad. A direct line of support between the people who make the music and the people who carry it with them, wherever they are.
