What are subscriptions?
Playeur allows you to monetize your channel with monthly subscriptions. Subscriptions are monthly recurring payments that are available in tiers set by the creator.
Subscriptions allow you to develop a predictable revenue stream without relying on ads or algorithms. Instead, your community can provide you with a sustainable source of revenue. This revenue is coming directly from your most passionate supporters, which gives you more freedom and independence than having to rely on advertisers.
Payout Policies
- Revenue Split: Playeur charges a 8% platform fee, and a processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30. The remainder goes to creators – a higher share than either Patreon’s equivalent Pro plan or YouTube Memberships.
- Payout Cycle: Payouts are batched and made available 30 days after the end of the month. For example, earnings collected in the month of January are held for the month of February and released on March 1st.
- Payout Methods: We currently support payouts using PayPal, ACH or Wire Transfer. Please note that creators are responsible for paying withdrawal and processing fees.
Other Policies
Fraud/Chargebacks
- Access to funds may be delayed or held due to fraud, TOS violations, and tax reporting reasons. In such cases, we communicate with creators in a timely manner to provide details.
- To protect creators we may block some customers’ charges if we believe them to be fraudulent.
- Charge-back fees and costs are deducted from the total reserve. Should charge-backs exceed 1% or occur frequently over the multiple payout periods we may suspend monetization pending an investigation.
Negative Balances
- If your account goes into a negative balance due to refunds/charge-backs, future payments received will be used to recover those funds and bring your account back into a positive balance.
Refunds
- Refund disputes are handled by Playeur, Inc., if someone requests a refund for a subscription, a refund will be issued according to our refund policy.
- Potentially unauthorized transactions are investigated by Playeur on a case-by-case basis. When deemed appropriate, Playeur will issue a refund to the cardholder to protect you from charge-backs and mitigate potential harm to your account.
