Giving should feel human again.

Kharisma is a simple way to make generosity effortless — tips, donations, and (for individuals and businesses) in-person payments through a QR code. Supporters can give from the website or by scanning a QR, in seconds, from any phone.

Anyone who wants to receive support can sign up: individuals (workers, creators, freelancers), small businesses, and nonprofits. Setup is quick, and once your payout account is connected, you can start receiving funds directly.

No. Supporters can give directly in their browser — from the Kharisma website or by scanning a QR code with their phone’s camera. They can use cards or digital wallets they already trust.

Tips and donations can be sent from the website to individuals, businesses, or nonprofits. When someone scans a personal QR code in person, individuals and businesses can also accept payments (for services, products, or tabs) — plus tips and donations.

Funds are processed through secure payment infrastructure and deposited into the bank account you connect during onboarding. Payout timing depends on your payout settings, so money goes directly to you — Kharisma doesn’t hold your funds.

A small processing fee applies per transaction (similar to standard card processing). In many cases, the supporter can choose to cover the fee — which can reduce the receiver’s effective cost significantly.

During sign-up, you’ll confirm basic details and connect a payout account through a short onboarding flow. Once approved, your Kharisma profile is activated so you can start receiving tips and donations (and payments via QR when enabled).

You’ll receive a welcome email with your QR codes, a shareable link for your profile, and the option to add your QR to Apple Wallet (with more wallet support coming soon). You can use these anywhere — social media, websites, printed materials, or in-person displays.

Taxes related to funds you receive are handled through your payout provider account, which may provide tax forms and reporting depending on your location and volume. Kharisma doesn’t provide tax advice — for specifics, we recommend a tax professional.

eMeals4u and Kharisma share the same underlying platform. eMeals4u focuses on meal-related giving and food programs, while Kharisma supports broader tips, donations, and payments for individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. In some cases, a Kharisma profile can also be used to support meal-related initiatives.
