SE.Pay, More Tip Payment Options With Lower Fees
All streamers have one thing in common: you want to keep as much of your earnings as possible. You work hard to provide your viewers and fans with entertaining content and it is a joy to be rewarded for that.
At StreamElements , we want to help you on your path towards streaming fame and fortune, making sure your streaming career remains as smooth and as stress-free as possible. That’s why we’ve created a new tipping service, addressing the frustration of losing money due to high payment processing fees and the disappointment of missing out on revenue because of malicious or spiteful chargebacks.
Introducing SE.Pa y
What is SE.Pay?
SE.Pay is the new StreamElements tipping service, giving you a hassle-free way to keep the revenue rolling in. SE.Pay gives your viewers an easier way to support you, letting them use their credit cards to donate tips to their favorite streamer (that’s you!)
SE.Pay also offers you the lowest fees on the market when receiving tips. We also don’t charge ANY FEES for chargebacks, compared to the $20 flat fee charged by PayPal. SE.Pay uses the same advanced chargeback protection used by Uber, Netflix, Steam, and many others, making sure that you (and your hard-earned revenue) are protected and secured.
These low fees are made possible thanks to the fact that StreamElements doesn’t take a cut of your tips. All of the fees are directly paid to our payment processor.
SE.Pay even shields you from wrongful chargeback claims by preemptively banning those who like to file them. We maintain an ever-updating list of these bad apples and permanently ban them from donating to our users. So, we stop them in their tracks before they ever have a chance to ruin your day.
