What an OnlyFans tip menu is (and why it works)
Tips are one of the three ways fans pay on OnlyFans, next to subscriptions and pay-per-view (how OnlyFans works). Without a menu, many fans never tip because they do not know what a tip would do. A menu turns tipping into a clear choice with a price attached, which is why it is a standard part of most creators’ pages. It works best for small, fast things you can deliver quickly; bigger requests belong in custom content or PPV, priced separately (OnlyFans pricing guide).

Tip menu ideas by price
- $3–$10 (impulse): a reply, a like, a sticker or emoji reaction, a quick voice note, a vote in a poll, a bonus photo from today’s shoot.
- $15–$30 (interaction): choose an outfit, colour or location, a shout-out, a signed or name-on-a-sign photo, a short Q&A video, a behind-the-scenes clip.
- $40–$100 (personal): a personal video message, early access to a set, a themed mini-set, being featured as “fan of the week”.
- Above the tip cap: longer customs, bundles and anything that takes real production time — quote them in messages and deliver as PPV.

How to price your tip menu
- Anchor to your subscription. The average paid subscription in OnlyPedia’s sample is $13.29/month; an entry item around a third of your monthly price feels easy, a mid item around your monthly price feels special.
- Price your time. If an item takes 20 minutes, it should earn at least what 20 minutes of your other work earns after OnlyFans’ 20%.
- Use three or four bands so every fan finds something in reach, and put one clearly premium item at the top — it makes the middle look reasonable.
- Use round numbers and keep them consistent with your PPV prices, so the menu never undercuts what you sell elsewhere.
- Check the limits. Tips have per-transaction caps that are commonly reported to be lower for newer fan accounts; the maximum is shown when fans tip. Anything pricier goes through PPV.
- Review monthly. Drop items nobody buys, raise prices on items that sell out, and add seasonal specials.
Where to post it and how to use it
- Pinned post at the top of your profile, so new subscribers see it first.
- Welcome message for every new subscriber, with one line explaining how tipping works.
- Live streams: keep it on screen or post it in the chat at the start.
- Occasional reminders in posts or messages — not every day.
- Deliver fast. A menu item delivered within a day turns a one-off tipper into a regular.
Your bio can mention that a tip menu is pinned — see OnlyFans bio ideas.
Designing it: images, Canva and text
Many creators build the menu in a free design tool such as Canva from a tip-menu template, using their own colours and fonts. Keep it readable on a phone: large text, one item per line, prices aligned on the right. Post a text version too (in the caption or welcome message) so fans can read it in any situation. Check that no personal details are visible in any photo you use, and avoid using OnlyFans’ logo in a way that suggests the menu comes from OnlyFans.
Tip menu rules to follow
- Every item must be allowed by the Acceptable Use Policy — a tip does not make a banned request acceptable (OnlyFans rules).
- No meetings, dates or anything in person.
- No off-platform payments (cash apps, PayPal, gift cards, crypto).
- No codewords hinting at something the rules ban.
- Deliver what you advertise: misleading fans breaks the rules and invites disputes.
- Keep records of tips for your taxes (OnlyFans taxes).
