Clubhouse has introduced a new feature called payments,a taste of things from behind sex video allowing users to send money directly to creators.
Even better, Clubhouse does not take a cut — the creators get all of the money you send (minus a "small" card processing fee which goes to Clubhouse's payment processing partner Stripe).
To send money to a creator, tap on their profile and then tap on "Send Money." The first time you do this you'll be asked to register a credit or debit card with Clubhouse.
The feature is rolling out to all users from the sending side, and will be gradually rolled out to creators, starting with a small test group. According to the company, the idea is to "collect feedback, fine-tune the feature, and roll it out to everyone soon."
Clubhouse says that this will be the "first of many features" that will allow creators to be paid on Clubhouse.
Launched in April 2020, Clubhouse lingered for a while before becoming a massive hit a few months ago. The audio-based social media app allows users to join rooms and take part in discussions with speakers (creators), and has attracted celebrities such as Oprah, Ashton Kutcher, and Mark Zuckerberg. The app is currently only available on iOS via invitation, but the company says it's working on an Android version as well.
