Vimeo has lunch a new Tip Jar feature.
When activated, it adds a ‘Tip this video‘ button below the video. Viewers so inclined can give between $1 and $500 via credit cards or PayPal.
To use this you must:
- Have a verified PayPal account
- Have a paid Vimeo account
There are some other restrictions so check out the FAQ. And recognize that Vimeo will deduct 15% off the top.
I would like Vimeo to allow users to customize the button. To me, ‘Tip this video’ sounds a little cheap. How about ‘I support this artist’, ‘Thank You $$$’ or ‘Become a Patron’?
