Everything fans and creators need to know about TipVote.
When is a fan's credit card charged?
▾
When you pledge, Stripe places an authorization hold on your card for the pledged amount. Your card is ONLY charged if the creator accepts and reacts to that track during their stream. If the track is skipped or vetoed, the authorization hold is automatically voided with $0 charged.
What happens if a creator vetoes a suggestion?
▾
Creators have complete editorial control over what appears on their stream. If a creator vetoes an item (due to copyright flags, duration, or channel rules), all voter authorization holds for that suggestion are immediately released.
How do creators set up the OBS Studio overlay?
▾
Every channel provides a dedicated overlay link at /overlay/@yourhandle. In OBS Studio, add a new Browser Source, paste your overlay URL, set the resolution (e.g. 450x600), and check "Control audio via OBS". The overlay updates in real-time with zero browser lag.
What currencies are supported?
▾
TipVote currently supports USD ($), GBP (£), EUR (€), and CAD (C$). Each creator configures their operating domestic currency in Studio Settings, and Stripe Connect automatically handles international fan cards.
