Abstract: A system and method for eliciting and receiving tips for media content. A server may provide media content to a consumer by streaming a movie to the consumer's device such as a computer, smartphone, tablet, or television. At a trigger point during the movie, the server may present a tipping interface to the consumer. A tipping interface may provide elicitation content and interface controls to accept tipping input. Elicitation content may be media content designed to inspire the consumer to provide a tip. The tipping interface may also provide information for guiding the consumer as to the amount of a tip. Interface controls in the tipping interface may accept tipping input from the consumer, which may include a tip amount, a reason for the tip, and suggestions related to the streamed movie or the streaming or filtering of the streamed movie. The server may receive the tipping input from the consumer and may effect a financial transaction based on the received tipping input.
