How to Create a Custom Tip Page with Streamlabs
Many creators rely on tips as a stream of revenue in order to continue delivering quality content to their audience. Essentially, your tip page is an extension of your brand. With Streamlab’s custom tip page functionality, you can customize it to fit your unique style and brand. Additionally, with monthly tipping, you can receive tips from your community every month. You can turn your tip page into a beautiful, one-stop resource so your community can view all the important links you want them to see.

Custom Design and Content Elements
When it comes to designing your Creator Site and Tip Page, there are no coding skills required. Below we will cover the various elements you can customize in the Design and Content sections of your Creator Site Editor.
Design
Site Design: Allows you to upload an additional background image and toggle on “Immersive Mode”, which will make the content blocks fill out the whole width of your website.
Content Design: The Section Vertical Padding option allows you to adjust the vertical padding between content blocks on your website and change the color of the content blocks.
Adding a Component Border allows you to define your content blocks by giving them a border.
The Component Corner Radius allows you to smooth out the edges of your content blocks, giving them a more rounded appearance.
Typography: Allows you to choose the font used on your website. You can pick the heading color and body text color.
Buttons: Button Variant lets you choose how you’d like the buttons on your page (such as the donation button) to appear. You can choose to have your buttons rounded, sharp, hollow, or filled in with color.
Navigation: The Background Color in the navigation section will customize the color at the top of your website where your social media links and links to other important pages (like your tip page) are included.
Logo Position will change the location of your channel image. The default position is located on the left but you can choose to move it to the center.
Scroll Position will let you choose if you’d like your channel image to remain fixed on top of the page or always remain present when people scroll. You can also change the size and shape of your logo.
Content
The Content section of your Creator site editor allows you to choose what you’d like viewers to see on your website. You can add multiple pages. For example, some people like their homepage to focus on their live stream and have other pages focused on social media or their merch store. Additionally, you can make customizations by simply dragging and dropping the components from the left option bar onto the site preview on the right, including a tipping panel. Move them around as you see fit, and remember to select Save & Publish when you’re done.
