Tipping
As a business owner, you’ll have the option to enable tipping for your customers. You can turn this feature on or off by tapping on Tipping in your business profile’s Settings menu. Tips added to payments your business receives will be shown when you download an account statement from the web.
Any tips applied to your payments will be calculated pre-tax (if you have taxes applied), on the original payment amount.
If you haven’t yet received any payments to your business profile, you can also find "Tipping" under “What’s next” on your business profile home page.
Paying with QR Codes & Sharing Your Profile
When customers pay you in person, the easiest way for them to find you is by scanning your Venmo QR code.
You can find your code by tapping Charge at the bottom of your business profile, then QR code. Here, you can also share your QR code via text message, email, printing, and more.
You can also accept contactless payments in-person with Tap to Pay.
Limits
Payment and bank transfer limits are separate between your business and personal profiles.
Balance Transfers
If you’ve verified your identity on Venmo, you’ll have the option to request a balance transfer between your personal and business accounts. Here's how:
- Navigate to your business profile's Money tab
- Tap Transfer
- Tap Transfer to (your personal username) and follow the onscreen prompts
Successful balance transfers should be available on the other profile within moments. There are no limits to how often or how much you can transfer between profiles.
Transfers are reviewed, which may result in delays or funds being frozen or removed from your Venmo account. Learn more about Reviews of Transfers Into and Out of Venmo.
Refunds
If you’d like to return a payment to a customer, you can refund the payment right from your Venmo app. Refunds issued in-app will be automatically associated with the original payment for easy accounting and will also appear as a new line item in your Transactions and on your statement.
Transaction History

Business profile payments in the Venmo feed
Payments sent to your business profile on Venmo are displayed in your friends' feeds with more details than a regular payment between friends. This enhanced display helps your activity stand out in the feed, driving higher visibility and discoverability through word of mouth.
These purchases can be set to “private” from your business profile settings.
