Monetization & Creator Program
You can earn from donations (one-off tips) and channel subscriptions (recurring monthly support). Donations are available as soon as payouts are set up; subscriptions require Creator Program eligibility.
Donations
Once payout onboarding is complete, viewers can donate to you. You can configure preset amounts, limits, a donation panel message, and on-stream alerts in the Studio. A platform fee and payment-processing fee apply; viewers can optionally cover the processing fee.
The Creator Program (Affiliate & Partner)
Selling subscriptions is gated by a Twitch-style ladder:
- None — default. You can take donations but not sell subscriptions.
- Affiliate — self-service: once your channel meets the criteria you’re invited, and you opt in to become an Affiliate. Unlocks selling subscriptions.
- Partner — applied for and reviewed by staff. Comes with a Verified Partner badge shown next to your name across the platform.
Your current status and progress toward the next level are shown in Studio → Creator Program. Denied Partner applications can be re-applied for after a cooldown.
Subscriptions & tiers
Channel subscriptions have three tiers (1–3) at platform-set prices. Viewers can upgrade (immediate, prorated) or downgrade (at period end). See Subscriptions for the viewer side.
Platform fee
The platform takes a percentage of subscription and donation revenue; the rest is transferred to your connected account (minus payment-processing fees). Partners may have a negotiated per-channel fee. You’ll always see the split in the relevant Studio screens.
