Challenges Faced by Online Streaming Platforms
Streaming platforms struggle with payment processing issues that most standard processors can't handle. Subscription chargebacks hit hard when viewers forget about recurring charges or feel disappointed by content quality. Users creating multiple accounts to exploit free trials pose a serious financial threat.
License agreements force platforms to monitor viewer locations and payment sources. This creates complex regulatory hurdles. Viewers worldwide expect diverse payment options beyond credit cards. Meanwhile, card-not-present transactions cost more and trigger security concerns. Banks classify streaming services as high-risk merchants because of these challenges, making specialized payment processing a necessity.

Payment Submission
The platform receives payment data when a subscriber completes a transaction.
3
Authorization & Risk Check
The processor checks for fraud activity and approves or declines the transaction.
5
Settlement to Merchant Account
Processed funds are transferred into the platform's merchant account.
6
Reporting & Monitoring
The platform monitors all transactions and tracks revenue per content type.

Secure Content and Regulatory Compliance
Streaming platforms must protect both payments and content rights. We help you comply with complex broadcast licensing requirements across different markets. Our system flags suspicious transactions based on location, helping enforce regional viewing restrictions.
Security extends beyond payments. Our PCI DSS compliance protects customer card data. Transaction monitoring helps spot potential piracy through unusual viewing patterns. We protect your business from both financial fraud and content theft. Many streaming services fail due to compliance issues or theft. SensaPay builds these protections into your payment system from day one.
