Congratulations on your decision to get out there and make money with the wonderful world of busking. The tips have is to not use the square and create a sign that says: Your name, (or character) thanks you for tips, $5 appreciated, everything welcome. I have a Venmo and Zelle QR Codes on my sign next to my tip jar taped to the table (kids bump the table all the time, it keeps my glass vase from falling over). I have my square reader sitting next to my sign for people to tap, or they use the small card reader that plugs into the jack, easy peasy. Also, when you get a tip, give the kids a big high five and thanks! It causes attention to those waiting in line, when you say, "Thanks for the great tip!" (regardless how much the tip is, it is always a great tip, even if it is change, so give every kid a high five for a tip, as a broke single mom decades ago, sometimes that is the best some can do).
Wishing you much success!!! I'm celebrating 20 years in February and about 4,000 appearances. You got this!!
Keep asking those great questions!!
