How to grow your payments app with podcasters and YouTube creators

- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Independent podcasters and YouTube creators make shows about everything from football to cooking. Beyond ad money, many earn from fans who pay a monthly membership for bonus episodes, from sponsors who pay an invoice for a read, from merchandise and from live shows and meet-ups. Platform fees on memberships can be high, and fans are spread across many countries. A payments app that takes monthly memberships, sends sponsor invoices as payment links and sells merch and tickets can win these creators, and every fan who pays sees your app.
