TipBux FAQ - Common Issues & Solutions

Q: I'm having trouble creating my TipBux account. What should I do?

If you're getting an error message like "Unable to create account at this time," try these steps:

1. Update your device: Make sure you have the latest iOS or Android version
2. Reinstall the app: Delete TipBux from your device and redownload it from the app store
3. Check your email: Verify you're spelling your email address correctly (including .com)
4. Email verification: Make sure you complete the email verification step
5. Try a different email: If issues persist, create a new Gmail or Yahoo account and try signing up again

Note: TipBux partners with Stripe for secure account protection, so some setup steps involve Stripe's system.

Q: My tip payment failed. Why did this happen?

The most common cause is insufficient funds in your TipBux wallet. Remember:

• Tips under $100 have a $1.00 transaction fee
• Tips over $100 have a 4% fee (capped at $5.00)
• Your wallet needs to cover both the tip amount AND the fee

Solution: Add more money to your TipBux wallet or send a smaller tip to ensure you can cover the transaction fee.

For complete fee information, visit www.TipBux.co and review our terms and agreements.

Q: How secure is my financial information?

Your security is our top priority:

• Secure coding: TipBux uses advanced security features and creates secure passcodes
• Auto-lock: Your mobile wallet locks automatically after 15 seconds of inactivity
• Stripe partnership: All financial data is protected by Stripe's robust security system
• Minimal data: TipBux only collects basic information (name, phone, email) to prevent fraud
• Future features: Two-factor authentication for financial transactions is coming soon

Q: The app crashes when I try to open it. How do I fix this?

This usually happens on older device operating systems:

1. Update your OS: Install the latest iOS or Android version
2. Reinstall: Delete TipBux and redownload from the app store
3. Restart: Reboot your device after reinstalling

This should resolve most crash issues.

Q: I can't verify my email address. What should I do?

1. Check spam folder: Verification emails sometimes go to spam/junk
2. Verify email address: Make sure you entered the correct email during signup
3. Reinstall app: If still having issues, uninstall and reinstall TipBux
4. Try different email: Use another email address if available

Q: I requested a withdrawal but the money hasn't arrived in my bank account.

TipBux withdrawals are instant once processed through our Stripe connection. If funds haven't arrived:

• Contact your bank: Different banks process incoming transfers at different speeds
• Check processing times: Ask your bank about their typical timeframes for external transfers
• Verify account info: Ensure your bank details in TipBux are correct

Q: Can TipBux do automatic recurring tips/subscriptions?

Currently, TipBux focuses on direct, user-initiated tipping. Every tip must be a deliberate action for security reasons and to avoid unwanted charges. We're researching subscription features but want to avoid issues like:

• Forgotten subscription charges
• Insufficient wallet funds for auto-renewals
• Unintended recurring payments

Q: What's the maximum amount I can tip?

• Single transaction limit: $9,999.99
• Security note: Large transactions over $2,500 may be flagged for review to prevent suspicious activity

Q: I accidentally sent a tip to the wrong person. Can I get it back?

TipBux has a confirmation process showing the recipient's name before finalizing tips. If you still sent to the wrong person:

• Contact us with both usernames (yours and the incorrect recipient's)
• We'll investigate the situation
• Resolution depends on the specific circumstances

Q: Can I link my social media accounts to TipBux?

Direct social media linking isn't available yet, but you can:

• Screenshot your QR code: Share it on social media platforms
• Share your username: Tell followers your TipBux username
• Use Tip Goals: Insert hyperlinks into your Tip Goals for any website you want

Smoother social media integration is coming soon.

Q: How can I maximize my earnings as a creator?

• Share your unique QR code with followers
• Post your TipBux username on social media
• Explain why you prefer TipBux over other payment apps
• Tell your story and engage with your community
• There are no limits to how often you can share your TipBux

Q: Tips aren't showing in my balance correctly.

Your TipBux balance shows your current wallet total, not individual transactions. To see detailed activity:

1. Go to "Past Tips": This shows all tips sent and received
2. Remember: Your balance reflects both money coming in AND going out
3. Example: If you received $20 but also sent $20, your balance stays the same

Q: How do I report TipBux tips for taxes?

• Track your tips: Use the "View Past Tips" feature for dates, times, and amounts
• Keep records: Manually record this information for tax purposes
• Export feature: The ability to export monthly tip reports is coming soon
• Get professional help: Consult a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation
• IRS resource: Visit www.irs.gov for official information on reporting tip income

Q: Is TipBux available in my country?

TipBux currently serves users within the United States only. As a growing company, we're focusing on meeting demand for US users first before expanding internationally.

Future plans: We plan to expand to the North American region, though some countries may not be supported due to different tipping cultures and regulations.

Q: How is my personal data handled? Can I delete my information?

• Minimal collection: TipBux only collects name, phone, and email
• Financial data: Stripe handles banking/financial information securely
• Delete anytime: You can permanently delete your profile and all associated data
• Transaction records: Volume records are kept for business purposes, but personal data is removed

Q: Why was my account suspended?

Common reasons include:

• Large transactions: Consistently sending/receiving over $2,500 may trigger security reviews
• Suspicious activity: Unusual patterns can cause temporary suspension

If suspended, you'll receive an email explanation. If you can still access parts of your profile, your account likely isn't suspended - you may just need to check specific features or wallet balance for fees.
