Our previous platform update was a major release that included a new setup for the players and great improvements to our live-streaming service. This time around, we are bringing some significant changes as well. We have changed our main payment processor and primary currency, improved our player ad call process for mid-roll ads, and added multiple new features. See the full Platform Update 6.8.2. changelog down below.
Main Payment Processor and Currency Change
With Platform Update 6.8.2., we have changed our main payment processor to Stripe. This will allow us to incorporate additional payment options for our publishers. We now support SEPA direct payments, direct bank transfers, and other popular payment methods per country. All current subscriptions will still be active and will continue to use our old system, so there will be no disruptions to your accounts.
In addition, the primary currency on the platform will be the euro. However, we will still support U.S. dollar payments for subscriptions and overage payments if required by the publisher.
