As TikTok explains, TikTok coins are in-app currencies users can buy to show appreciation for other TikToker’s content.

Simply put, buying coins or recharging means that users over 18 can buy coins on Tiktok to purchase gifts and send them to their favorite TikTok creators.

TikTok Gifts are stickers and animations in various fun and unique designs. However, different types of gifts require different amounts of coins.

To send a gift, users must navigate to TikToker’s LIVE steam and tap on the gift panel. Once they hit send, the gift will appear on the video.

To buy TikTok coins, users must use payment methods and providers authorized by TikTok.

In addition, only users 18 and older can receive gifts with monetary value; or earn Diamonds and withdraw Diamonds.
