## TikTok keeps up to 50% of your gifts. We keep 0%.

Your fans think they're supporting you. Half their money never reaches you.

TikTok Gifts are built into the app, which means your audience doesn't need to leave TikTok to support you. That's convenient. But TikTok takes 30-50% of every gift before you see a cent, and you can't withdraw until you hit a minimum threshold. ZeroCut lets you link your donation page in your bio — your fans tap once, and the money goes straight to your Stripe or PayPal. You keep everything.
