Stripe provides convenience for payment. If you haven’t signed up for Stripe, you must create an account to receive prompts.
A processing fee will be charged when sending a reminder, which is how TikTok earns income because it does not charge a fee from the recipient.
Users who are eligible to receive alerts will display a new icon on their profile. More information on eligibility requirements is provided at the end of this article.
After clicking the icon, the user can choose to send $5, $10, $15 or a custom tip amount.
Please note that if you send a reminder, other users will be able to see what you have reminded and how much money you sent. If you do not want to make this information public, please select the anonymous tip option.

Users can tip a maximum of US$100 per transaction, for a total of US$500 per day. Users can only make 100 transactions per day.
Video gift
If you’ve used TikTok recently, you may have noticed a new gift box icon in users’ videos.
This is a new gift feature of TikTok, which allows users to send virtual gifts for specific videos.
They are a bit like Reddit rewards, but the recipient can exchange them for real money.
Screenshot from: tiktok.com/creators/creator-portal/, December 2021.Receiving gifts will bring many benefits. First, it led to an improvement in the TikTok algorithm:
“…A key metric used by TikTok to evaluate the popularity of a video is the number of gifts sent to creators of content.”
Secondly, creators will receive “diamonds” when users send virtual gifts, which is the name of TikTok digital currency.
After accumulating enough diamonds, users can redeem them by selecting the “Withdraw” option from their TikTok account.
