In May 2021, Twitter announced the addition of Tip Jar to its product. This new feature was meant to help creators on the platform easily receive “tips” or money from followers who consume their content. It made easy a process that creators do manually.
Later, the Tip Jar was renamed to just Tips, while its purpose remained the same. Twitter Tips are integrated with the most popular payment platforms to allow users to choose which they are most comfortable making payments with.

Here’s how it works: The user or creator activates Twitter Tips and connects their preferred payment channels. Others can now pay them through the channels they have connected. The paid channels that each Twitter user sees may vary based on region and availability. But popular ones include PayPal, Patreon, CashApp, Chipper Cash, and so on.
In this post, we will show you how to enable Twitter Tips so that you can get paid from your Twitter followers or random people on the platform. Read on.
