Common questions

Does Fiverr take 20% of tips?

Yes. The 20% seller commission applies to tips exactly as it does to the gig price.

Is it better to ask for a larger tip or raise the gig price?

Mathematically they are identical — the commission is flat. Practically, a higher gig price is visible before purchase and shows up in your gig ranking signals.
