microtip

Very small tip

A microtip is a very small gratuity, typically a few cents to a few dollars, given digitally to content creators, musicians, or service providers online.

The concept emerged with cryptocurrency and payment platforms that made tiny transactions economically feasible: I left a microtip on her blog post.

Microtipping lets audiences support creators incrementally rather than through subscriptions or large donations.
