Interesting choice. It would have been easy to add an extra 1-5% on top of each payment.

I wonder how this will compete with things like substack.

Will creator support like clubhouse's payments, undermine or enhance things like payments from platforms like substack.

I use both for my newsletter: For example my newsletter ProductiveGrowth , weekly stories about productivity, leadership, motivation, and anything else that helps us and our teams grow and be more productive.

I don't use either payment option now, but make me wonder which to use.

> To send a payment in Clubhouse, just tap on the profile of a creator (who has the feature enabled) and tap "Send Money".

> Enter the amount you would like to send them. The first time you do this, you’ll be asked to register a credit or debit card.

> 100% of the payment will go to the creator. The person sending the money will also be charged a small card processing fee, which will go directly to our payment processing partner, Stripe. Clubhouse will take nothing.

That's unusually generous. Apple and Google take note.

This trend of bundling easy payment into more platforms looks like good news for Stripe.

This provides a very strong incentive for bad actors on Clubhouse to create rooms to ask for money under false/scammy pretenses, and Clubhouse has an unclear moderation policy for that.

Why they don't charge any fees? I don't use clubhouse (Android) but if I were user I would be happily paying 1-2% fees and would rather prefer seeing service has source of income.

As a non-clubhouse user, is this just for supporting creators, or is there something a user might expect in return for sending money?

If I just wanted to support someone, I would think a venmo or cashapp handle is preferable since those are already hooked into my bank account and won't incur fees. I'm guessing this is just a first and necessary step towards adding payments elsewhere in the clubhouse platform though.

I think it's likely Stripe has caused the trend of bundling easy payment into platforms.
