The Tip Jar function was introduced by Twitter in May of this year. According to the company’s announcement at the time, the functionality would be accessible to a limited number of users who will thereafter be able to add it to their profiles.
Currently, the Tip Jar will only be visible on the profiles of a limited group of artists, journalists, specialists, and non-profits. Twitter has previously said that the functionality will be made available to more users in the future.
The inclusion of Twitter’s Tip Jar will be the latest in a series of initiatives aimed at assisting artists on the site in finding a source of revenue. It also serves as a reminder of the increasing significance of bitcoin as a payment method. Bitcoin has once again surpassed the $50,000 barrier, but Ethereum is also increasing in value, now trading at $3900 and gaining recognition as a payment method.
Twitter has introduced ‘Super Follows,’ a new method to earn a monthly income from the social network. In June, Twitter announced the addition of RazorPay as the first Indian payment gateway to the Tip Jar, allowing users in India to collect tips on the site as well as users from other countries. Twitter had also stated that the Tip Jar feature will be made accessible in a number of Indian languages, including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, and Tamil, as well as other languages in the region.
Once a Tip Jar is set up on a user’s profile, their followers may show their support by giving them tips. Because of RazorPay’s support, they will be able to transfer money using a variety of payment methods, including UPI, credit and debit cards, net banking, wallets, and other similar methods of payment.
