Give through

I gave the courier some tips through Uber Eats, but he claimed he was getting none of it.


Is the above sentence correct?

Normally you give a person one tip per job, so it could be that you mean "a tip" rather than "some tips". "he was getting none of it" is a bit odd. Maybe you mean this: I gave the courier a tip through Uber Eats, but he said/claimed (that) he never received it.
