Ninja Backer tipping

Accept tips with NinjaBacker.com inside VDO.Ninja

Overview

NinjaBacker.com is integrated into VDO.Ninja so performers can receive tips directly from viewers and room guests during streams.

It works with:

• Private P2P streams using a built-in tip button and modal

• Larger streams to YouTube/Twitch using the QR code overlay in OBS or scene/view links

Each performer also gets a standalone donation page, for example: https://ninjabacker.com/steveseguin

What viewers see

• "Send a Tip" button on the video (when &showtips is used)

• Tip modal with preset amounts and custom amount entry

• In-stream tip banner and chat notification when a tip lands

• Optional QR overlay for OBS/scene/view links

How to use

Performers

1. Register at https://ninjabacker.com/register

2. Create a username and connect your Stripe account

3. Copy your Tip ID from the dashboard

4. Add &tip=YOUR_TIP_ID to your push link

Example (alpha): https://vdo.ninja/alpha/?push=mystream&tip=YOUR_TIP_ID

Viewers

Viewers must opt in with &showtips to see the tip UI: https://vdo.ninja/alpha/?view=mystream&showtips

URL parameters

Parameter	Side	Description
&tip=ID	Sender	Enable tipping with your Tip ID or overlay token
&tipsid=ID	Sender	Same as &tip (recommended for overlay token)
&showtips	Viewer	Show tip UI (two-way opt-in)
&supporttips	Viewer	Alias for &showtips
&notipqr	Viewer	Hide the QR code overlay

Use &tip or &tipsid for tipping. The &tips parameter is a guest help-screen and is not the tipping feature.
