Tinshake is here to shake things up! Remove the admin hassle from fine management and make raising funds fun. Say goodbye to multiple social media networks, messages, phone calls, spreadsheets, collecting bank details, and chasing money. Leave the mess behind and become a Tinshake Campaign. Tinshake is a new social fundraising platform that creates a fun and interactive way for a bunch of people to raise funds for a shared purpose.

Tinshake can be used for all of this plus way more. Tinshake is not just about raising funds though, you can follow Public Campaigns to see what others are up to, or simply use your Group or Campaign chat to manage multiple chat rooms under a common entity.
Currently Tinshake is supported in Australia with the rollout to the USA, UK, New Zealand, Canada, UK and Greater Europe to follow.
You can search for your friends and other Members using the Search icon (top right on the Tinshake Home Screen), select and follow.

Did your teammate turn up to training without their boots? We reckon that's a fine. Did your work colleague miss a meeting because they slept in? That's definitely a fine! A 'Fine' is created by a Campaign Member and sent to another Member of the same Campaign. Or a Fine can be sent to multiple or all Members of a shared Campaign. A Fine can be sent as simple text, using a Tinshake Rulebook, photo, or a 15-second video. The fun doesn't stop there, the receiver of the Fine has the option to accept, negotiate or decline. Only fines and negotiations that are accepted are published to Tinshake Feeds. Tinshake platform and merchant fees are deducted by Stripe on the way into the Campaign owner's bank account.
In the 'Tap & Hold' feature in chat, you can access 'Send Money' here you can instantly send money to any user on Tinshake.
This one is simple, hmm yeah I deserve the Fine but not keen for it to go on the Tinshake Feeds for all to see! There is an InApp purchase for 'Private Fine' and it will sit against the Member in the Campaign's Statistics.
Sometimes a fine amount is simply not warranted for the crime! 'Negotiate' allows the fine recipient to do exactly that, negotiate the amount of the Fine. There is only one round of negotiation and it is up to the Fine sender to accept the negotiation or not, if not the Fine is null and void.
A 'Shout' is created by a Campaign Member and sent to another representing a thank you, for example, "Thanks mate for helping me move house on the weekend". A Shout can be sent as simple text, photo or a 15 second video. The receiver of the Shout has the option to accept or decline. Only Shouts that are accepted are published to Tinshake Feeds. Tinshake platform and merchant fees are deducted by PayPal on the way in to the Campaign owner's PayPal Account.
'Gift' is created by any Tinshake Member and sent to recognise the Campaign, for example, an injured team member might Gift $20 "Great game on the weekend MPFC, this is to go towards your end of season trip". A Gift can be sent as simple text, photo or a 15 second video. The Campaign Owner has the option to accept or decline. Only Gifts that are accepted are published to Tinshake Feeds. Tinshake platform and PayPal merchant fees are deducted by PayPal on the way in to the Campaign Owner's PayPal account.
'Quick Gift' is found on the Campaign Profile page and is used to Gift funds to Public Campaign's you are not a Member of. Having no description or content, the Quick Gift has no approvals, nor are they published on any of Tinshake's Feeds. Tinshake platform and merchant fees are deducted by PayPal on the way in to the Campaign Owner's PayPal Account.
'Quick Gift' provides a method of Gifting to any Public Tinshake Campaign without any description or media, you could be traveling through a town and stop to watch the local footy game, enjoy it so much that you decide to Quick Gift to their Campaign as thanks for the entertainment. Simply put in the $ amount and click Pay. Gift is only available to Campaign Members with the option of descriptions and media and requires approval by the Campaign Owner.
'Clap' is Tinshake's version of appreciation. Clap and show you are a fan of the post.
'Comments is represented by a chat bubble under each post in the Tinshake Feeds. Any Member of the Campaign the post resides under can Comment. If you are not a Member and are following the Campaign, you are unable to participate in Comments.

An 'Active Notification' means you need to treat an action by either Accept, Negotiate, or Decline. An Active Notification will not go away until it has been treated.
A 'Pending Notification' means you are waiting on another Tinshake Member to action it by either Accept, Negotiate or Decline. No action, use Tinchat to give them a courteous shove!
