Twitter Features “Tip Jars” for Some Users

Faizel Patel – 08/05/2021

Social media platform Twitter has begun letting some users add virtual tip jars to accounts so people can support their tweets by tossing in money.

According to Twitter senior product manager Esther Crawford, a limited number of users around the world who tweet in English can add a “Tip Jar” feature to their profiles,

The group included creators, journalists, experts, and non-profits.

“You drive the conversation on Twitter and we want to make it easier for you to support each other beyond Follows, Retweets, and Likes.”

Crawford says  this is a first step in the company’s work to create new ways for people to receive and show support on Twitter – with money.

According to Crawford, a Tip Jar icon on a profile page indicates an option to be taken to services such as Patreon, PayPal or Venmo to send money to a creator,

She says Twitter does not take any cut of tips.

Crawford says more people will be able to add Tip Jar to their profile and that they will be expanding the feature to more languages.
