Tip goals are a great way to get your viewers involved and show them that their tips are going towards you and the stream, or even a specific product or incentive.
To get started setting up a Tip goal, you will need to go to the tip goal page found here: https://streamlabs.com/dashboard#/widgets/tip-goal
- Setup your Tip Goal information
Start by entering in the title of the goal and what amount of money you are aiming to raise. As you receive tips, the bar will fill up and show the current total. The starting amount value can be used if you have already raised some tips and want to have them go towards the goal. Lastly set an end date in the end after box. This will decide the deadline for the goal. When you are ready click the save button on the "Manage Goal" section.
Tip: When entering the end date you need to give the entire date such as 07/21/2016.
2. Customize your Tip Goal appearance
You can customize to the standard or condensed layout, font settings, and bar colors and size. You can also apply custom HTML/CSS for a more professional look.

A: An existing goal cannot be edited. if you want to change something in the goal such as the goal amount, end date or current amount raised, you will need to end the goal and enter in your current amount as a starting amount to continue your progress.
