Stripchat tip menu guide · Last updated: August 2026
TL;DR: You build a Stripchat tip menu inside the model panel under My Show Controls, where the site asks for a minimum of four items. Add ten to twenty entries, price them in tokens, and remember that a token is worth about $0.05 to you, so a 50-token item pays roughly $2.50. Put your cheapest item under 20 tokens so first-time tippers have somewhere easy to start.
- Where to find it: model panel → My Show Controls → tip menu section
- Minimum items: 4. Practical range: 10–20.
- Token math: about $0.05 per token to you, so 100 tokens is roughly $5.
- Cheapest rung: 10–20 tokens. Most-used rung: 50–150 tokens.
- Update it every few weeks and delete anything nobody buys.
Most new models spend their first week worrying about lighting and their tenth week realising the thing actually costing them money was an empty menu. A room with no prices makes every member ask “how much?” in chat, and half of them will not bother asking at all. A Stripchat tip menu answers the question before it gets typed.
It is also the fastest fix on this list. Setting one up takes about fifteen minutes, it lives on your profile permanently, and it works whether you are online or not. Members read menus while they are lurking.
This guide walks through where the menu lives in the model panel, what to put on it, how to price it in tokens, and the small formatting habits that make people actually use it. If you have not signed up yet, start with how to become a model on Stripchat and come back to this once your room exists.
What is a Stripchat tip menu and why does it matter?
A tip menu is a published price list for things you will do in exchange for a specific token amount. On Stripchat it is a native feature rather than a bot or an add-on, so it shows on your profile and inside your room without you having to install anything.
The reason it matters is friction. A member who wants to spend has to decide two things: what to ask for, and how much to send. Every second they spend on that decision is a second they might spend closing the tab instead. A menu makes both decisions for them.
There is a second effect that is less obvious. A menu sets a floor. Rooms without one tend to get 5 and 10 token tips because that is what people guess is normal. Rooms with one get tips at whatever the lowest listed number is, and that number is yours to choose.
Menus also do the work of turning lurkers into first-time tippers. Someone who has watched you three times without spending is not being cheap, usually. They do not know what the etiquette is. Give them a 15-token option and you have converted them.
How do you set up a tip menu on Stripchat, step by step?
The whole process happens in your model account, not in the broadcasting software. Log in on desktop, since the panel is fiddly on a phone.
- Open the model panel. Sign in to your model account and go to your dashboard rather than the public site.
- Find My Show Controls. This is the tab that holds your room settings, including the tip menu section.
- Add your first four items. Stripchat requires at least four entries before it will save the menu. Write the action in the label field and the token cost in the price field.
- Keep filling until you have ten to twenty. Four is the minimum, not the target. A short menu leaves gaps where a member would have spent.
- Order it from cheapest to most expensive. People read top down and stop when a number feels comfortable. Leading with your most expensive item scares off the person who was ready to send 20 tokens.
- Save and check the public view. Open your own profile in a logged-out browser window and read the menu as a member sees it. Long labels get cut off, and you will not notice until you look.
One thing worth doing on the same visit: fill in your other profile panels while you are in there. Rules, about-me and fan club details sit in the same area, and a menu next to an empty profile reads as an abandoned room.
What should you put on your menu?
Build it in three tiers. The mistake almost everyone makes is listing only the expensive things, which leaves the cheap end of the room with nothing to buy.
Low tier, roughly 10–35 tokens. Small, instant, low effort. Say a member’s name, blow a kiss, spin the camera, drink, answer a question, add a song to the playlist, flash a smile. These exist to break the ice, not to pay your rent.
Middle tier, roughly 40–150 tokens. This is where most of your income actually comes from. Outfit changes, specific poses, a short dance, camera angle requests, toy control for a set number of seconds, a photo sent to their inbox.
High tier, 200 tokens and up. The anchors. Longer toy sessions, a custom video, a private show at your going rate, something genuinely worth the number. High-tier items sell less often but they also make the middle tier look reasonable by comparison, which is half their job.
If you broadcast with an interactive toy, the toy items usually carry the menu. A Lovense Lush 4 is the standard choice for this because the vibration levels map cleanly onto token amounts, and the Domi 2 is the usual pick when you want something with more power on camera. Get the hardware talking to the site first with this walkthrough on connecting Lovense to Stripchat, then list the levels as separate menu items rather than one vague “toy control” line.
Stuck for items? The category lists in our tip menu ideas guide were written for Chaturbate but the actions translate directly. Only the pricing and the setup screen differ.
How should you price a tip menu in tokens?
Start from what a token is worth to you. On Stripchat models earn roughly $0.05 per token, which is about half of what the member paid for it. So:
| Tokens | Roughly what you earn | What it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | $0.75 | Icebreaker item |
| 50 | $2.50 | Small request, outfit tweak |
| 100 | $5.00 | Core middle-tier item |
| 200 | $10.00 | Toy session, photo set |
| 500 | $25.00 | Custom video, anchor item |
Two rules keep this from going wrong. First, never price something below what it costs you in effort and time. A 20-token item that takes ten minutes is a bad trade and you will resent it by the fourth request. Second, use uneven numbers. A menu of 25, 50, 75, 100 reads as a template. A menu of 22, 55, 111, 222 reads as yours, and repeated numbers like 111 or 222 get tipped more often than round ones because they are fun to send.
The other half of pricing is knowing when the money actually reaches you and what the site takes out. That is covered in detail in the Stripchat payout guide for models — worth reading before you set your high tier, because your withdrawal minimum affects how you think about a 500-token item.
How do you get members to actually use it?
A saved menu that nobody reads earns nothing. Three habits move the needle.
Say it out loud. Mention the menu in chat every ten or fifteen minutes, and name one item rather than the menu in general. “Tip 55 and I will change into the red set” beats “check my tip menu” by a wide margin.
React visibly. When a menu tip lands, deliver it immediately and thank the person by name. The rest of the room is watching to see whether the menu is real. One fast delivery in front of an audience sells the next three.
Prune it. Every few weeks, look at what has never sold and delete it. A menu of twelve items people buy beats a menu of thirty they scroll past. If something sells constantly, raise it by twenty percent and see whether it still sells — it usually does.
Also rotate one or two items to match the day. A seasonal item or a “today only” line at an odd price gives regulars a reason to look at a menu they have already read fifty times.
Frequently asked questions about the Stripchat tip menu
How many items does Stripchat require?
Four is the minimum before the menu will save. Ten to twenty is the practical range. Under ten and you leave price gaps; over twenty-five and members stop reading before the end.
How much is a token worth to me?
About $0.05, which is roughly half of what the member paid for it. Your effective rate can rise with tier status, so consistent hours matter more than any single big night.
Should my cheapest item be 5 tokens?
Usually not. Five tokens pays you about a quarter and it trains the room to tip in single digits. Somewhere between 10 and 20 is low enough to be an easy yes without setting the floor at nothing.
Can I change the menu while I am live?
You can edit it from the panel mid-stream, but it is awkward to do while broadcasting and members may see a stale version until it refreshes. Set it before you go online and treat mid-show edits as an emergency fix only.
Do I have to honour every request instantly?
Yes, if it is on the menu at the listed price. That is the whole deal, and a room that takes tips without delivering loses its regulars fast. If something has become impractical, remove the line rather than declining it in chat.
Is a tip menu the same as a tip goal?
No. A menu is a list of individual purchases. A goal is a single total the whole room contributes toward. They work well together: the menu produces steady small tips and the goal gives the room something collective to push at.
The short version
Open My Show Controls, add at least four items, aim for ten to twenty, sort them cheapest first, and price them knowing a token is worth about five cents to you. Then talk about it in chat and delete whatever nobody buys. That is genuinely the whole job, and it is worth more per hour of effort than almost anything else you can change about your room.
Not on Stripchat yet?
Stripchat is the platform earning the most search interest of anything we track, and the model panel is one of the easier ones to configure. You can create a model account and have a menu live the same day.
