One-time support
Fixed tip jars via Tide Bank shop — no custom amounts. Each tip can include a small digital thank-you after checkout.
Paid securely on Tide. Product links appear here once each tip jar is published in the shop.
Ongoing support (standing order)
Tide cannot take recurring card payments. For monthly support, set up a standing order with your bank — tell us your details and we’ll email bank instructions straight away.
Request standing-order details
After you submit, you will see a thank-you page and receive an email with bank details and standing-order instructions. See our privacy notice.
