Payment Integration (Stripe & PayPal)

How to connect Stripe or PayPal to Strimm to collect subscription and pay-per-view payments from web viewers.

To charge viewers for subscriptions or pay-per-view (PPV) on the web, you need to connect a payment processor to your Strimm account. Strimm supports Stripe and PayPal. Once connected, all subscription and PPV payments from web viewers go directly to your account.

Supported payment processors

  • Stripe — recommended for most creators. Supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. Available in 46+ countries.
  • PayPal — widely recognized and trusted by viewers globally.

You can connect one or both. Viewers will see the available payment options at checkout.

How to connect Stripe

  1. Go to My Studio → Payment Integration.
  2. Under the Stripe section, click Connect with Stripe.
  3. You'll be redirected to Stripe to sign in or create a Stripe account.
  4. Complete the Stripe onboarding (business details, bank account). This is done directly with Stripe — Strimm never stores your banking information.
  5. Once connected, you'll see your Stripe account status as Active on the Payment Integration page.

How to connect PayPal

  1. Go to My Studio → Payment Integration.
  2. Under the PayPal section, click Connect with PayPal.
  3. Sign in to your PayPal Business account (a Business account is required — personal accounts are not supported).
  4. Grant Strimm the requested permissions and confirm the connection.
  5. Your PayPal account will show as Connected once complete.

Setting up subscriptions and PPV pricing

After connecting a payment processor, you can set your pricing:

  • Subscriptions — go to My Studio → Viewer Subscriptions to set monthly/annual prices and control which channels require a subscription.
  • Pay-Per-View — go to My Studio → Pay-Per-View to set a price for individual VOD titles. Viewers pay once to unlock a title for a set period (e.g. 48 hours).

Payouts

Revenue goes directly to your connected Stripe or PayPal account. Strimm does not take a cut of web subscription or PPV revenue — your payment processor's standard transaction fees apply.

Note: For in-app purchases on mobile and TV apps (iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, etc.), payments are handled by the respective app stores (Apple, Google, Amazon), not by Stripe or PayPal.
