Wix Apps: Adding and Setting Up the New Wix Tips

8 min read
Wix Tips lets customers show their appreciation for your business and can boost your earnings. Whether you own a store, run a restaurant, train clients, or provide services, the Wix Tips app allows you to add and manage tips directly on your site. 

For booking services, the app also automatically distributes tips to your staff. For example, if a customer books a manicure and pedicure with two different staff members at your salon, the app splits the tip between them.
