A tip menu is a published schedule of fixed token prices that a webcam model assigns to specific requests, reactions, or activities during a live stream.
Setting Expectations and Boundaries
Checking the tip menu before sending tokens allows visitors to understand exact costs and avoid unsolicited requests. The menu acts as a functional boundary framework. It clarifies what activities the performer is willing to offer and sets clear pricing parameters. Common items on a tip menu include verbal greetings, outfit adjustments, specific camera angles, social media access, or activating interactive Bluetooth toy vibrations for specified intervals.
Key considerations when navigating a tip menu include:
- Non-Negotiable Scope: Listed items represent voluntary offerings; an unlisted request is not implied to be available simply by offering a higher tip amount.
- Queue Ordering: In busy public chat rooms, requests triggered via tip menus generally process sequentially, meaning performers fulfill actions in order of received tips.
- Platform Compliance: Every item on a tip menu must comply with site service agreements and local broadcast regulations, prohibiting restricted acts regardless of token volume.
Tip Menus Versus Custom Private Requests
A tip menu differs from a custom private negotiation. While a tip menu governs predefined, standardized activities in public or club shows, custom private shows often involve open negotiation within the broadcaster's stated limits. Relying on the tip menu keeps transactions predictable and protects both broadcaster autonomy and member spend control.
