Jars
Learn how to customize your Kharisma jar with a photo, name, description, QR code, and shareable link.
Jars
A jar is your digital tip jar on Kharisma.
Every jar is tied to an email address for notifications, a financial institution for payouts, and its own QR code. It is more than a payment destination. It is also a clean, human page that tells people who you are before they tip or pay.
What you can customize
- jar photo or logo
- display name
- description or about section
- the jar's QR code
- the jar's shareable link
- linked jars, if the jar is part of a Shared Jar
- which actions are visible, such as tip, pay, or support
About the description section
Use the description area to:
- explain who this jar is for
- describe the service, role, or team behind it
- set trust before checkout
- explain why someone may want to tip or support you
Good examples include:
- businesses
- nonprofits
- creators
- musicians
- service providers
- community organizations
Discoverable jars
Your jar can be a discoverable jar, which means people can find it through Kharisma search, donation, and giving pages without needing your link or QR code first.
When someone finds your jar, they see:
- your display name
- your photo or logo
- your description
- the action they can take next
This makes a jar feel like a simple, human mobile page, with no app install required.
