How it works
Customer taps their phone near the Xava wristband. The tip page opens instantly in their browser. No app, no cash and no awkward moment.
They pick an amount and pay securely. Customers choose a quick tip amount, then pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
The tip goes straight to their Xava wallet. Earnings are tracked in one place, with simple payouts to their bank account.
Why Xava
Cash is disappearing, but tipping shouldn't. Xava gives waiters, petrol attendants, car guards, caddies, cashiers and cleaners a simple way to receive tips straight from a customer's phone — no app, no cash and no complicated setup.
Every tap turns into real income for the people who keep South Africa moving.
