Croissant for musicians

Whether you release songs, post covers, share lessons or play live, some listeners want to give back directly. Croissant gives you a tip page at croissant.beffa.xyz/yourname where they can buy you a croissant in a few clicks.

Why tips suit musicians

• Your music stays free to hear. Listeners who want to support you can, without a paywall.
• Direct support. Tips go to your bank through Stripe, separate from streaming or sales.
• Simple to share. One link that works on any platform.

Setting up

1. Sign in with Google and claim your artist name as your address.
2. Use a press photo or album art as your avatar and cover, and write a short bio about your music and what support helps with: recording, gear, studio time. See customising your page.
3. Connect Stripe and publish.

Where to put your link

• Video descriptions for performances, covers and lessons.
• Your website and link-in-bio.
• Release posts when you share new music.
• A QR code or slide at live shows, pointing to your page. You can make one from your URL with any QR code generator.
• Your newsletter or fan mailing list.

See adding a support link for more examples.
