Your link-in-bio page is not the only place you can get tipped. With an embeddable tip widget, every page you own — your blog, your portfolio, your newsletter archive — becomes a place where fans can support you directly on-chain.
What is a creator tip widget?
A tip widget is a small, embeddable component you drop into any website with a single line of code. It shows your avatar, a short call to action, and a tip button. When a visitor clicks it, they connect their Solana wallet and send SOL or USDC straight to your wallet — no login, no platform fees eating into the amount, no payout queue to wait on.
Heart3 generates a personal embed snippet for every creator. You copy it once and paste it wherever you need it.
Why put a tip button on your own site?
Most creators send supporters off their own domain to tip — to a Patreon page, a Buy Me a Coffee link, or a separate creator profile. Every redirect is a drop-off point. A visitor who would have tipped you $5 on the spot leaves the page, forgets, and never comes back to it.
Embedding the widget keeps the moment intact. The reader just finished your best article. They are at peak motivation. The widget is right there — they tip without leaving.
- Higher conversion — no redirect friction between intent and action
- Works on any page — blog, portfolio, newsletter archive, docs, landing page
- Non-custodial — tips go straight to your wallet, not a platform holding balance
- Instant settlement — Solana confirms in under a second
- No fees on small tips — a $1 tip is not eaten by a 30¢ flat payment processing fee
What the Heart3 widget looks like
The free widget shows your profile photo, your name, and a tip button. When a fan clicks it, a small modal opens: they choose SOL or USDC, enter an amount, and confirm in their Phantom or Solflare wallet. Done. The tip lands in your wallet seconds later.
With Pro Widget you can go further:
- Custom colors — match your site's brand exactly
- Own branding — remove the Heart3 label, show your own logo
- Thank you note — display a custom message after every tip
- Goal bar — show fans how close you are to a funding goal
- Founding Creator badge — visible on your public Heart3 profile
How to embed the widget on your site
The process takes about two minutes:
- Step 1 — Sign in at app.heart3.org and go to Dashboard → Embed Widget.
- Step 2 — Copy your personal embed snippet. It looks like:
<script src="https://heart3.org/widget.js" data-creator="yourname"></script> - Step 3 — Paste it into any HTML page, WordPress post, Webflow page, Ghost theme, or Notion-to-web export — anywhere that accepts custom HTML.
- Step 4 — The widget appears automatically, styled to blend with your page.
No dependencies, no API keys, no build step required.
Where creators are embedding it
The most common placements we see:
- End of blog posts — right after the conclusion, when the reader is most engaged
- Portfolio pages — designers, photographers, and developers collecting micro-support for open source work or free resources
- Newsletter archives — Ghost and Substack creators adding a tip button to their public post pages
- YouTube descriptions via link-in-bio — embedding on a personal site linked from the channel
- Course and tutorial pages — educators offering free content with an optional support button at the bottom
Goal bar: turn tips into a campaign
The Pro goal bar lets you set a funding target — say, $500 to record your next album, cover server costs for a free tool, or fund a research trip. The widget shows a live progress bar to every visitor. Supporters can see how close you are and feel like their tip matters to a specific outcome.
Goals with a visible bar consistently outperform generic tip buttons because they give context. "Help me reach $300 for new equipment" is more compelling than "Buy me a coffee."
Frequently asked questions
Do my visitors need a crypto wallet?
Yes — the widget connects to Phantom or Solflare (both free browser extensions). For visitors who already use crypto, it's seamless. If your audience is new to crypto, Heart3's wallet setup guide covers the basics in under five minutes.
Which currencies does the widget accept?
SOL and USDC on the Solana network. Both settle in under a second. USDC is stable at $1 per coin — useful if you or your supporters prefer a dollar-denominated amount. SOL is the native chain currency and requires no token account setup.
How is this different from a PayPal donate button?
The funds go directly to your wallet — there is no intermediary holding your balance. No chargebacks can reverse a confirmed on-chain transaction. No account review can freeze your widget mid-campaign. And the fee structure is transparent: Solana network fees are fractions of a cent, and Heart3 takes a small protocol fee only on tips (not on the Pro Widget purchase itself).
Can I use the widget on multiple sites?
Yes. Your embed code is tied to your creator account, not to a specific domain. Paste it on as many pages as you like.
