BuskerGo

Sharing a Terminal with other buskers now has a proper guide. Plus refreshed FAQs on the setup sequence and Square's timeout beep.

BuskerGo turns your Square Terminal into a contactless tip jar — so you never have to stop playing.

Set up once. Press start. Your audience taps to tip on a dedicated payment terminal while you focus on your performance. No cash handling. No awkward interruptions. No phone passed around.

How it works
• Connect your Square account
• Pair your Square Terminal
• Set your tip amount and session duration • Tap Start Collecting — and play

Tips process automatically. Your terminal resets after every payment and stays ready for the next person in the crowd.

Setlists with spoken intros
Build a setlist inside BuskerGo, write a short intro for each track, and BuskerGo speaks it out loud between songs in a natural voice. Lock your phone and your full set plays through — spoken intros lead straight into each song, no need to wake the phone or touch the screen between tracks. Edit setlists from any browser at buskergo.com; changes sync to your phone in seconds.

See exactly where every tip goes Each transaction in your Dashboard is laid out as a deposit stub — gross tip, Square's processing fee, BuskerGo's 1% platform fee, and the net you actually receive. No surprises.

Transparent pricing • Square's standard in-person rate (1.6%–2.6% depending on country)
• 1% to BuskerGo per tip • No subscription, no setup fee

Built for the street
BuskerGo was built by a Montreal busker who got tired of missing tips while playing. Every decision — from the one-tap start to the hands-free session timer to locked-screen playback — was made with a live performance in mind.
