How to send Tips (money) on Twitter?

send Tips (money) on Twitter

If you are not interested in receiving money on Twitter and instead prefer to financially support your favorite tweeters or charitable causes promoted through this social network, then follow these steps to send Tips:

  • Go to the profile of the Twitter account you want to send money to.
  • If the user has activated the function, next to the Follow / Unfollow button, you will see the icon of a wad of bills. Press it.
  • Then, Twitter will show you the available payment options (the ones the user chose when activating the Tips). Choose the one that suits you best.
    • You can also send Bitcoin through Strike (if the user accepts it).
  • Next, you will automatically go to the page of the selected payment platform. Enter the amount to send and accept everything.

Ready! The user will receive 100% of the money sent (Twitter does not keep anything), subtracting the commission that the payment platform you used takes (if applicable). It is also important to mention that Twitter does not impose any limit on the number of Tips you can send, but the payment platform you use may.

On the other hand, you should know that Tips have nothing to do with the Super Follow subscription or with SpacesThey are separate payments. Anyway, if you have any questions about it, leave us a comment so we can help you.
