One

Create a Resource

Begin by creating a new resource within your TipDirect Pro or Pro Plus account. This resource can be any asset you use for your service, such as a bus, car, boat, tables or buildings. Creating a resource involves logging into your TipDirect account and navigating to the resources section, where you can enter details about the resource.

Two

Download and Print the Resource QR Code

After creating the resource, the system will generate a unique QR code for it. This QR code is crucial as it will link the resource directly with your company and guides. Print the QR code on flyers and stickers and ensure the QR Code is clear and scannable.

A digital card for "Tour Boat," marked as Boat No.1, offers a seamless booking experience for tours and activities. It shows 4 active cards and a QR code. A blue button labeled "Download Resource QR" is below. The background is purple, making it easy to access tour reviews at a glance.

Three

Attach the QR Code in the Desired Location

Place the printed QR code in a prominent and easily accessible location on the resource. For example, on a bus, you could attach it to the back of each seat; on a table, you could place it in the center or at the edge; for a car or boat, you might attach it near the entrance or on a passenger seat. The goal is to ensure it is visible and easy for visitors to scan.

Four

Guides Claim the Resource

For the period of their shift, guides and drivers can now temporarily take over and claim all the QR codes on the resource through the TipDirect App. When a guide or driver claims a resource, they become the designated recipient for all tips and credited for the reviews linked to that resource during their shift.

A notification screen proposes adding a resource named "Tour Boat" to a group, with an "Add to group" button at the bottom, highlighting its inclusion in Tours and Activities.

What happens if a resource is not claimed?

If a resource is not claimed by you or another guide, the QR code will default to linking with the company’s Guide Gallery. The Guide Gallery is a collection of all guides associated with the company, ensuring that tips and reviews are still collected and distributed fairly. This default setting ensures no tips are lost and visitors can continue to leave their appreciation and reviews.
