Twitter Tip Jar - Can you Tip via #UPI?

 

Twitter Tip Jar - Can you Tip via #UPI?

            I was searching Twitter to see if any profile has enabled Tip Jar. Unluckily could not find Tip Jar enabled profiles.

            Please let me know any Twitter profiles that have Tip Jar enabled. This will enable me to try out a micro-donation.

            Twitter’s Tip Jar is a feature for Tweet senders to receive tips from anyone seeing their tweet in English language. In the near future, Tip Jar feature will be enabled for other languages too.  

            Eligible Twitter account holders can add Tip Jar to their profile and accept tips. In the initial phase, eligible twitters are creators, journalists, experts and non-profits. The list will be expanded as days go by.

            The preferred payment services are: Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, PayPal and Venmo. Twitter takes no cut.

On Android, tips can also be sent within Spaces. Spaces is the new way to listen to live audio conversations on Twitter. The creator of a Space i.e Host can also receive Tips via Tip Jar, if his/her profile is eligible for the same. As ‘spaces’, are more direct than tweets, the chances of Tips after completion of a ‘space’, are high.

Cash App - Cash App is a mobile payment service developed by Square, Inc. that allows users to transfer money to one another using a mobile phone app. The service is available in the US and the UK. As Cash App is still not available in India, tips cannot be done via #UPI

 

Patreon - Patreon is an American membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service. It helps creators and artists earn a monthly income by providing rewards and perks to their subscribers. As Patreon is not yet available in India, tips cannot be done via #UPI

PayPal – As per an article dt. 21 Dec, 2021, PayPal's Xoom adds UPI payments enabling NRIs and PIOs to remit money to India in real-time article. But, will this work in Twitter Tip Jar has to be seen in action.

Venmo - Venmo is a mobile payment service owned by PayPal. Venmo account holders can transfer funds to others via a mobile phone app; both the sender and receiver have to live in the U.S.. so #UPI is out of the question
