Perno Creators lets you accept one-time payments and tips from people who support your work. You can set a fixed amount or let visitors decide how much to pay. Each payment option can be displayed on your public profile or shared through a direct link or QR code.
How to create and manage payments and tips in Perno Creators
1. Open Payments and tips
Go to Perno Creators and select Payments and tips from the menu on the left.
Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner and select:
|
Option |
Purpose |
|
Add payment |
Create a one-time payment with a fixed amount or an amount chosen by the payer. |
|
Add tip box |
Create a tip option with suggested support amounts. |
The menu also includes Add recurring support, which lets you create recurring support options.
2. Enter the basic information
In the Payment option form, complete the following fields:
|
Field |
What to enter |
|
Payment type |
Select One-time payment for a one-time payment or Tips for tips. |
|
Title shown to visitors |
Enter a title visible to visitors, such as “Support my channel” or “Buy me a coffee”. |
|
Description |
Explain what the support is for or what the payer receives. |
|
Button text |
Enter the text for the payment button, such as “Support me” or “Send a tip”. |
3. Configure the one-time payment amount
For One-time payment, use How is the amount set? to choose how the amount is determined:
-
Fixed amount — the payer pays the amount you set. Enter it in the Amount field, for example 25.00.
-
Custom amount — the payer chooses the amount. You can set lower and upper limits in the Minimum amount and Maximum amount fields.
4. Configure tips
For Tips, configure the amount settings:
|
Field |
Meaning |
|
Minimum amount |
The lowest permitted payment amount. According to the form’s help text, leaving this field empty applies a value of 1.00. |
|
Maximum amount |
The highest permitted payment amount. According to the form’s help text, leaving this field empty applies a value of 1000.00. |
|
Suggested tip amounts |
Suggested tip amounts, separated by commas, for example 5, 10, 25. |
Supporters can choose one of the suggested values or enter another amount within the permitted range.
5. Set visibility and save
Select Show on public profile to display the payment option on your public profile. Then click Save.
Turning off Show on public profile hides the option from your profile, but its direct link and QR code can still accept payments.
The Payment link active setting controls the payment link’s status separately. Turn it off if you want to stop accepting payments through the direct link and QR code.
6. Share your payment or tip option
Once saved, the option appears in the Payments and tips list. You can:
-
share your public profile if the option is visible there;
-
click Copy next to the payment address and share the direct link;
-
share the QR code assigned to that payment option.
7. Check payment statuses
The Payments received section shows payment attempts, including the option name, supporter, amount, status and creation date.
Check the Status column — an entry marked Pending indicates a pending payment, not a confirmed payment.
Payments are processed through Perno Orchestration using the merchant accounts configured for your Perno account.
