Twitter has introduced its in-app payments feature Tip Jar to India. The social media giant has united Indian payment gateway Razorpay in the app.
Currently, only a limited group of people, including creators, journalists, public figures, experts, and community leaders, will be able to see the option of adding Tip Jar to their profile. Tip Jar will enable creators to monetize their content and earn from their supporters. Users can send tips to applicable accounts on Twitter for iOS and Android through third-party payment services.
One can turn on the Tip Jar icon that can be found next to the Follow button on the profile page. It will allow users to link an existing account with payment providers, including Razorpay, PayPal, Cash App, Patreon, Bandcamp, and Venmo. “By integrating Razorpay, we are hoping to provide people in India with a simple and secure way to send money as a gift. Tip Jar is available in multiple Indian languages, including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, and Tamil,” said Twitter in a blog post.
“Through Razorpay’s interface, you will be able to support individuals and organizations across India via multiple modes of payment including UPI, credit and debit cards, net banking, wallets, and more. We’re also working on adding more payment providers to the feature around the world,” Twitter added in the blog post.
