Busker Coins
Our mission is to empower musicians by making digital tipping effortless, accessible and secure
Our Story
Busker Coins began with a simple idea: musicians deserve better.
In cafés, bars, street corners, and small venues, we kept seeing the same thing — incredible artists pouring their hearts into their music, but walking away with little to show for it. Cash tips were inconsistent. QR codes and payment links were messy. And most performers had no easy way to connect with the people who loved their sound.
I knew there had to be a better way.
So I created Busker Coins — a digital tipping platform built specifically for musicians. A tool that lets artists receive support instantly, without setup stress, awkward payment requests, or complicated tech. Just a simple scan, a tap, and a chance for audiences to give back.
What started as a solution to a small problem grew into a mission to uplift an entire community of creators.
Today, Busker Coins exists to help musicians earn more, grow their fanbase, and feel valued every time they perform.
This is our story — and we’re just getting started.
Each musician gets a unique QR code
​
When a musician signs up, the system automatically creates a personal QR code linked to their profile.
Musicians can print their QR code, display it on their instrument case or show it on their phone
Fan scan the QR code
Someone enjoying the performance just opens their camera, scans the code and instantly lands on the musician's Busker Coins tipping page
