What fees apply to payments sent by listeners?
Listener payment fees depend on whether the payment is made with Lightning or a bank card.
Lightning payments
Fountain takes a 2% fee for podcasts hosted on Fountain. If you are not hosting your podcast on Fountain but you've claimed the podcast to receive payment, Fountain takes a 4% fee.
A further 1% of each Lightning payment goes to Podcast Index to support the open podcasting ecosystem, and withdrawals from your wallet carry a 1% fee.
Card payments
Fountain takes a 5% fee plus Stripe’s standard payment processing fees, which vary by country. You can learn more about Stripe's fees here.
Please note that fees may change over time, and any updates will be reflected in our terms of use.
