Enabling Tips & Donations in Ghost gives your readers an option to support your work with a one-off payment, without needing to sign up as a member, so long as you have an active [Stripe connection](https://ghost.org/help/stripe/) on your publication.

You can configure the Tips & Donations feature from the **Settings → Growth → Tips & Donations** area within Ghost Admin.

From there, you’ll be able to set a suggested amount for individuals to tip, and can set a custom currency.

Once you've configured your suggested amount and currency, the payment link can be shared across your entire publication. For example, you can use your custom payment link within a button card, a custom header, as an email call to action, or you can even include your payment link within your site navigation.

Tips & donations can be made by non-members, as well as existing members. 

When a tip is received the publication owner, as well as any administrators role staff who have this [email notification](https://ghost.org/help/managing-your-team/#email-notifications) enabled in their staff user profile would receive an email.

⚠️

The tips & donations feature may not be available for every site, due to jurisdiction-specific prohibitions, as documented in [Stripe's Help Center](https://support.stripe.com/questions/requirements-for-accepting-tips-or-donations).
