As soon as a user sees it, they can donate money with one click. Then simply indicate the desired amount and select a payment method. All this, without leaving the application.

Donate directly on the app

In France, TikTok has chosen to highlight Restos du Coeur whose “exceptional commitment” is praised by the application, which is overwhelmingly popular with teenagers. The company "invited creators and artists present on the platform to make, three times a week, 'Lives' and collect donations for the benefit of Restos du Coeur, directly from the integrated Donation function," explained the social network.

It does not just provide a technical means to make a donation, it also invests financially. It will double the sums which will be granted to the association for helping the most deprived via its integrated donation function. "For this, users are invited to share the hashtag #DoubleTonDon in their posts and videos," said the company.

The social network is not in its first wave of solidarity. At the beginning of April, he announced that he would give 230 million euros to support healthcare workers.
