Tip your car guard without the cash.

Everyone wins
The guard receives their tips weekly via PayShap — no bank account, no smartphone, no paperwork required.
Why Cashless Tips
Built for South Africa, from the ground up.
Every feature is shaped by real interviews with car guards and thousands of consumer responses from Pretoria East.
No cash, no problem
Pay with SnapScan, Zapper, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. If you can buy a coffee, you can leave a tip.
Safer than carrying cash
Fewer loose notes in your car, fewer coins for workers to carry home — everyone walks away a little safer.
Works without a smartphone
Recipients don’t need a phone, bank account or ID — just a mobile number. Tips land weekly via PayShap.
Weekly pay-outs
Every Friday, earnings are paid out to each worker — so rent, food and transport are never far away.
Transparent dashboards
Shopping centres see anonymised tipping data and social-impact metrics. Workers see exactly what they’ve earned.
On-the-ground support
We train every worker in-person, so the first tip is as easy as the hundredth. Centres and sponsors get a dedicated contact.
Our mission
Make sure valuable service never goes unrewarded.
“We’re building a tipping ecosystem where a cashless economy never means an unrewarded one — where every car guard, caddie and attendant earns a fair, reliable living with dignity.”
South Africa’s unemployment sits at 31.9% and the country is rapidly moving to card and tap payments. Thousands of informal workers depend on tips to survive. We’re closing that gap, one scan at a time.
