How To Accept Tips Doing Line Work as a Balloon Twister

Line work is a fundamental skill for balloon twisters, especially those performing at events. Ideal for parties, festivals, and public gatherings, line work demands not only dexterity in balloon manipulation but also a deep repertoire of designs and the ability to engage with an audience.

Balloon Suite allows you to:

• Create a “Tip” product in the store without a set price
• Create a QR Code flier to add to the outside of your twisting bag for parents to scan with their phone

Balloon Suite stores allow parents to use credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and many other popular payment methods.

You can also use this feature to charge per item using credit cards or other methods while you are working a line. Parents who don’t have cash or prefer not to use it can go to your per item product which has a minimum price set but no maximum, allowing them to easily tip based on their preference.

Activating Choose Your Price for Products

You can activate the Choose Your Price feature directly on individual product pages within your store's management panel. This approach is suitable for a variety of products and services, including accepting donations.

Steps to Enable Choose Your Price:

1. First, determine the minimum acceptable price for your product, which could be zero or any other amount. Customers will not be able to proceed with their purchase if they offer a lower price than this minimum.
2. With Choose Your Price enabled, the standard fixed price is replaced by an input field on the product page, where customers can enter their price offer. Optionally, you can present suggested prices as clickable buttons for guidance (including a "name your value" option).

To Set Up Products with Flexible Pricing:

1. Navigate to Sell Online > Manage Store in the editor's side panel.
2. Go to Catalog > Products.
3. Choose to Add New Product or Edit an existing one.
4. In the Pricing section, select Manage Pricing Options.
5. Activate the Choose Your Price option by enabling the toggle.
6. Enter a Minimum price.
7. Optionally, add fixed price tiers to suggest specific prices.
8. Save your changes.

Consider creating a special category for all products with flexible pricing to enhance store navigation and visibility. Products with Choose Your Price can also be featured as Related Products in your catalog and shopping cart.

Note: When a product is set to Choose Your Price, you cannot apply wholesale pricing, display discounts, or use price modifiers for product options or variations.

Disabling Choose Your Price:



To revert to fixed pricing:

• Access Sell Online > Manage Store.
• Select Catalog > Products and choose a product to edit.
• In the Pricing section, disable the Choose Your Price toggle.
• Optionally, assign a new fixed price.
• Save your changes.

This setup provides a novel way to engage with customers, potentially increasing satisfaction and sales by offering a more personalized shopping experience.
