Payments & fees

Cash giftA cash gift is money a fan sends through a creator's wishlist or gift page instead of buying a physical item, letting the creator choose how to use it.ChargebackA chargeback is when a card payment is forcibly reversed by the buyer's bank after a dispute, pulling the money back from the seller, often weeks after the sale was completed.Crypto paymentsCrypto payments let fans pay creators using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or USDT, which settle without card networks and cannot be reversed through a chargeback once confirmed.Payout thresholdA payout threshold is the minimum balance a creator must earn before a platform will pay out, typically combined with a fixed payout schedule and sometimes a holding period for new earnings.Revenue shareRevenue share is the percentage of each sale a creator platform pays to the creator, with the platform keeping the rest; for example, keeping 80% means the platform takes a 20% cut.Service feeA service fee is a charge added to a fan's payment by the platform, separate from the creator's price, so the creator's earnings are not reduced by the full cost of running the platform.StablecoinA stablecoin is a cryptocurrency designed to hold a steady value, usually pegged one-to-one to a currency such as the US dollar, so its price does not swing like Bitcoin's.Tip menuA tip menu is a creator's published list of fixed-price tips, each linked to a specific reaction, shout-out or small action, so fans know exactly what each amount gets them.USDTUSDT, also called Tether, is a widely used stablecoin designed to stay worth about one US dollar, making it a popular choice for paying and receiving crypto without price swings.
