Subscriptions and Payments
Subscriptions are a monthly recurring product that can be purchased with Credit / Debit cards, Twitch Gift Cards, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and various local payment options, such as paysafecard via Xsolla.

Lower subscription prices mean more viewers can support creators with paid subscriptions to help them reach their goals and build their communities. Creator subscription revenue is related to the price viewers pay and will change by a corresponding amount.
