ET had also reported that Twitter was not expected to charge users for this service, and was looking to collaborate with more payment processors to render the service in India.
Since November, last year, Tips is now available to all Twitter users above 18 years of age on iOS and Android in India.
“We strive to offer seamless and secure digital payments to businesses and consumers. In India, millions of people already use Paytm for their everyday payments and we are excited to partner with Twitter to enable payments for Tips. This will support the creator community with monetisation capabilities through payment solutions offered by Paytm Payment Gateway,” said Praveen Sharma, chief executive officer, Paytm Payments Services.
