Buskr puts the street stage on the map — literally. The Buskr app was designed for the hidden gems and the underdogs. This app's purpose is to shine a light on all the talented artists in the world that most may never know about or ever see. While the basis of the app is a digital platform, it solely relies on users "going outside," and seeing what wonders artists are out there creating. The App is broken up between two user experiences: FOR FANS (Bystander Accounts) • See every performer live near you, right now, on a live map • Walk up and join the show — your presence counts in the artist's live audience • Tip in seconds with your card; your tip goes to the performer • Request a song while the busker is live and you are attending an active "music based performance," with a tip attached • Boost your favorite songs on their setlist and shape the show - Boosts are weighted and the more others interact, the more the direction of the performances changes • Follow performers and get notified the moment they go live nearby - Shape your own "digital groupie," personality while experiencing different sides of artists and earning badges for your interactions FOR PERFORMERS (Busker Accounts) • Go live in one tap — your pin appears for every fan nearby • Get tips straight to your bank through secure Stripe payouts — no cash cup required • A QR code uniquely created for busker accounts allows fans the ability to scan to tip from any phone, no app needed. Also, allowing fans to get a more detailed description of that performer. • Song requests, live audience counts, ratings, and set stats in a real Stage Mode - Home tab for busker accounts is broken up between two tabs, "Setlist and Metrics." These tabs act as not only a multi aspect tool for how they can better take control and utilize their time during a performance, but also as an area where they can track their own goals, see personal development, and control how the crowd can interact with them. • Your first 30 days of tips are commission-free HOW THE MONEY WORKS Tips are processed by Stripe and paid out to the performer's connected account. Fans see the exact total (tip + card processing fee) before paying. Buskr's 9% commission is waived for a performer's first 30 days. Instant payouts are optional with fees shown up front. Street performances have always ran on generosity. Buskr just makes the hat digital and easier to find!
