LIVE STREAMING PLATFORM
Turkois partners with Kick.com to help users support a marketplace for their top and emerging streamers.
OVERVIEW
In this integration we helped a dynamic live streaming platform that connects streamers with a vibrant online community to launch a complex Connect feature. The platform is built to enable streamers with features such as supported HD streaming, live chat, and provides opportunities for viewers to support them through gifts and paid subscriptions.
THE CHALLENGE
As one of the fastest growing platforms in history, the streaming platform found itself being called out as a Twitch.tv competitor almost overnight. The platform promised favorable terms for streamers / creators, prioritizing the growth of a global streaming community over profit. In order to achieve this however, the client team had to move fast - building an integrated payment system that would allow streamers to accept both one-off and subscription payments from viewers around the globe, all while scaling the core platform for its rapidly growing user base.
The goal? To enable viewers to support their favorite streamers from around the World on a rapidly growing platform by leveraging payment opportunities including single payments (‘gifts’) and recurring payments (‘subs’).
THE SOLUTION
Turkois worked closely with the client’s team in order to identify optimal payment flows and architecture, and deploy a scalable solution that continues to grow with the streaming community. Utilizing Stripe Connect and Payments, they were able to offer streamers the ability to quickly create connected payout accounts for accepting both one-off and subscription payments, while providing in-channel payment flows for viewers looking to support their favorite streamers.
Turkois worked with the client team in order to create a scalable payment solution built using Stripe Connect and Stripe Payments, allowing streamers to seamlessly create payout accounts and accept both one-off and subscription payments.
