Morphology

tipper = tip (transparent) = tip + er

Agentive '-er' added to the verb 'tip' (to give a gratuity) yields 'tipper' meaning 'a person who gives a tip', which is a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Tipper comes from the verb tip, which means 'to give a small extra payment' and brings to mind slipping a little money to say thank you. So a tipper is simply a person who gives tips for service.
