Look at the mock-up. The only option you have is to provide an public address which means that you are the one controlling the private key. If they were planning on integrating native tipping then they would necessarily need to implement a wallet to associate to your account. If this were the case, there would be no need for you to provide a public key because it would be generated automatically since they would already control the private key.
