If you’re on Clubhouse, you’ll already be able to send payments to members, but the company is gradually rolling out the ability to receive payments – starting with a small test group. The platform said it wants to first collect feedback, make necessary adjustments , and then release it to all users.
Those who want to try Payments can tap on the profile of a creator who has the feature enabled and tap “Send Money”. Users would then have to specify how much they’d like to send via a credit or debit card. Clubhouse claims it will take nothing from the transaction, though a small card processing fee will go to its processing partner, Stripe. With potential competitors chomping at its heels, it seems Clubhouse is eager to attract a solid base of content creators before they do. Spotify, LinkedIn, Facebook, and ByteDance are all reported or rumoured to be working on their own clones of the application. (Source: Clubhouse. Text image: Clubhouse.)
