Fans never leave the app they're already in. They tap the native Share button, choose TipTap, and the creator is recognized automatically — tip sent in seconds.
What it looks like today — a working prototype, live on device.
The creator connects Instagram, TikTok, YouTube & X to one TipTap profile. Each platform is verified with its own official sign-in, so fans always reach the right person.
Viewing any post, a fan taps the native Share button and chooses Share to TipTap — the same gesture they already use to send posts to friends.
Our recognition engine identifies the creator and the exact piece of content automatically. No searching, no usernames to type, no links to copy.
The fan sends a tip or buys bonus content with PayPal, Venmo, or a card — using the wallet already on their phone. No new account required.
Connect your platforms with official OAuth sign-ins so tips always route to you — not an impersonator.
Link PayPal or Stripe and receive payouts directly. You receive the full tip or unlock price — fees are added on top for the fan.
Gate bonus content behind a one-tap purchase and reward your top supporters with perks and leaderboards.
Every extra minute between "I want to support this person" and a completed payment loses fans. TipTap collapses that to seconds.
