Twitter brings ‘Tip Jar’ in-app payments to India to help creators monetise their content

After kicking-off the proceedings in the US last month, Twitter is bringing Tip Jar to India. The feature allows users to send and receive support on the platform with money. In order to enable these transactions for users in India, Twitter has added RazorPay, an Indian payment gateway, to its service Tip Jar feature. The payment gateway is an additional payment provider.

For now, the feature rolled out by the company is limited to only a few users on the platform who can turn on Tip Jar to receive tips. The option for this Tip Jar can be easily seen next to their profiles. Some journalists, creators, experts, public figures, and community leaders have been given provision of this as of now. To be sure, the feature is the company’s way of letting creators on its platform to “monetise their content and earn money from their biggest supporters.”
