How to register your jar with the TipTracer™ system:

To register an MHS Donation Jar, click it to bring up the options dialog. Then click Admin | TipTracer | Register | Register!. You will then be presented with a Debit Permissions dialog. Upon accepting debit permissions, the jar will be registered within seconds! Take note of the Owner-only text that is chatted to you, which includes your login password.

Q: Can I change my password?
A: Yes, but not inworld. You'll need to log into your TipTracer web page and change it there.

Q: What if I forget my password?
A: Click any of your TipTracer-registered MHS Donation Jar(s) inworld, then click Admin | TipTracer | Password. The options dialog will appear revealing your TipTracer password.

Q: If I no longer want to use TipTracer, can I opt out?
A: Yes. Keep in mind that you'll need to unregister every jar individually (there's no global "off" switch). Click the jar(s) you want to unregister, then click Admin | TipTracer | Unregister.

Note: There are two other ways a jar is automatically unregistered from TipTracer:

  1. Resetting the jar via Admin | Reset | Reset!
  2. Taking your jar into inventory and re-rezzing

Note that historical data for unregistered jars are deleted after 1 year (360 days). If you want to preserve it's data, you can exercise the Import function on another TipTracer-registered jar to acquire it's historical data. This is explained here.

Q: Once a jar is unregistered with TipTracer, is the historical data deleted immediately?
A: No. Unregistering a jar means it will no longer "ping" the server regarding it's inworld existence, nor will it contact the server if it is interacted with (either through the owner options dialog or someone tipping into it). So the data will be deleted in the usual 6-month grace period. That gives you ample time to re-register, should you change your mind.

Q: I forget if I registered, so how can I tell if my jar is registered (or not) with TipTracer?
A: Simple... look at the top inner rim. If it's illuminated with the rose color that you've selected, then it's TipTracer registered. (Jars configured with a black rose might make this a tad difficult to discern, you'll need to look closely.) TipTracer status is also reported in the dialog that appears when you click the jar. Furthermore, you can click Admin | TipTracer and see what buttons are showing -- if the jar is registered, then you'll see the Unregister, Import and Report buttons. If it's unregistered, then you will see a Register button.

Q: Can my jar inworld tell me how many tips were made?
A: Yes, but the count will pertain only for tips stored with TipTracer. Click Admin | TipTracer | Report and information about this and all your jars will be reported privately to you in chat.
