Nashville, TNBuilt for working artists

The tip jar
with a track list.

Fans scan a code, pick from your songs, and put money behind what they want to hear. You decide what actually gets played. You keep 100%.

Free to start. You keep 100% of the song price. Here as a fan?


How a night runs

Three things, then you play.

01

Build your menu

Handle, songs, your prices. Your page and QR code go live the moment you save.

02

Put the code where the room can see it

Table tent, guitar case, front of the stage. Fans scan and land on your menu. No app, no account.

03

Play, and get paid

Requests arrive with the money already on them. Mark one played and Stripe sends it to your bank.

And anything else they ask for

Your menu is a starting point, not a fence.

Fans can ask for anything. You set the price floor for off-menu requests and can move it mid-set. Accept or decline, same as everything else.


What you keep

100%

of the song price, every time, on every request.

String never takes a cut of your money

Set a song at $10, you get $10. There is no tier where that changes.

The fee is the fan's, and it rides on top

A small fee is added to the fan's total. Never taken out of yours.

Paid straight to your bank

Stripe sends your money to your own account. String never holds your earnings.

Three ways a night pays

01

Requests

Money on a song, at your price. Anyone can boost it higher.

02

Crowd Picks

The room funds one song together. Public and shareable, so people who are not in the bar can chip in.

03

Shoutouts and tips

Money with no song attached, and a message on the room's screen. A birthday, a proposal, a thank you.


What's on it

Your stage deserves better than a taped-up QR code.

Nothing plays without you

Every request waits for your tap. Decline it and it never enters your set. The queue is what the room wants, not an order you have to follow.

A queue that competes

Fans put money behind a song, and anyone can boost it higher. The whole room watches the ranking move.

Your menu, your prices

A different setlist for a different room, each with its own pricing. Charge extra for the song you are tired of.

After the last song

The scan does not end with the song.

Your page does not disappear at closing time. It links straight to wherever your music lives, and it is there on a Tuesday when you are nowhere near a stage.

SpotifyApple MusicYouTubeInstagramTikTokYour site

A stranger who liked one song can follow you and leave a way to be reached. That list is yours, and it grows every night you play.

Your originals go on the menu at whatever you decide they are worth. Somebody paying to hear your song beats any post.

Artist Insights

See what your nights add up to.

Every show adds to a running picture of your work: which songs earn, which rooms pay, and how much of tonight's crowd has paid you before. It builds itself while you play.

Questions

The ones we always get.

What does String cost me?

Signing up is free and you keep 100% of your song price. Fans pay a small fee on top at checkout, and nothing is deducted from your side.

How do I get paid?

Through Stripe. Connect your bank once during setup and payouts go straight to you. String never touches your banking details.

Do fans need an app?

No, and they never will. They scan your code and your menu opens in their browser. No download, no account, no password.

What if someone requests a song I don't want to play?

You decline it, and that is the end of it. Fans are told before they pay that they are submitting a request, not buying a guaranteed performance.

Can I still take requests the old way?

Of course. String is not a replacement for reading a room. Plenty of artists run it alongside the shouted requests and the tip jar.

Your next set can pay for itself.

About a minute to set up. Bring a handle, a few songs, and a bank account.
