Your fans can tip you and upsell to premium content, directly from your social posts. TipTap removes the friction from getting tips.
💜 Built by creators, for creatorsThe working prototype today: TipTap recognizes the account and content from the native share action, then routes straight to a tip or purchase.
The tools to tip, support, and buy content are fragmented, buried, or missing entirely. Over half of monetizing creators earn under $15K a year — and only 4% earn more than $100K.
Fans who want to show support have to leave the app, hunt for a payment link, and navigate a separate platform. Most give up.
Creators struggle to sell exclusive content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X — each platform has different (or no) tools for it.
Creators juggle Patreon, Ko-fi, Linktree, and DMs just to get paid. Fans don't follow. Revenue gets left on the table.
No new platform to join. No searching for a payment handle. Just tap, share, and support.
Creators sync Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X into a single TipTap account — with more platforms on the way.
Fans tip or purchase exclusive content in just a few taps using PayPal, Venmo, or other linked wallets — no new account required.
TipTap lives inside the native iOS / Android share menu, right where fans already are.
Creator connects Instagram, TikTok, YouTube & X to one TipTap profile.
Viewing a post, a fan taps native Share → Share to TipTap.
The app identifies the creator and content automatically — no searching needed.
Fan sends a tip or buys bonus content via PayPal, Venmo & more.
Fees are added on top of the tip, not carved out of it. Fans cover payment processing plus a 1% TipTap fee on card payments. No subscriptions, no listing fees, no lock-in. Here's a $3 card tip:
* Payment processing is charged by third-party processors and varies by method — currently about 2.9% + $0.30 for cards via Stripe, and 3.49% + $0.49 for PayPal and Venmo (which carry no TipTap fee today). Processor rates are set by the processors and may change.

Kyle O'Tain (CEO) and Dom Ramirez (CTO) built TipTap because getting paid as a creator shouldn't require five platforms and a link in bio.
We're onboarding our first creator cohort now and preparing a pre-seed round. Whether you create, support, or invest — this is the moment to get in.
TipTap: the tap that turns every post into support.
