Tips & paid alerts

Trigglow Pay lets viewers pay to fire an alert on your stream or send a tip, with receipts and a full earnings history.

Open in Trigglow

Trigglow Pay (/app/monetization) is where the money side lives. Viewers pay on your Trigglow Link in two ways: a paid alert, which plays on your OBS overlay once the payment goes through, or a tip of any amount from the tip jar. Both need your payouts set up first (see Payouts).
A paid alert is a normal trigger whose "When does it fire?" is set to Money. Choose Fixed price, or Viewer chooses with a minimum. If the alert text uses {message}, your Trigglow Link asks the payer to write that message before paying. Paid alerts from your active overlay collection appear in the Paid alerts block of your page.
The tip jar is a block you turn on in Trigglow Link → Modules & tips, where you also set suggested amounts, a minimum and the button label. It needs Starter or Pro. A tip does not fire an alert: it shows in your activity, in the activity feed overlay and counts toward your community goals.
Viewers enter a name (or pick one of their accounts if they are signed in), can pay anonymously and must give an email for the receipt. They can also choose to pay the fees so you receive the full amount. The card form opens inside Trigglow. After paying, the viewer gets a receipt by email with a PDF and a receipt page where they can report a problem.

Steps

  1. 1
    Set up payouts in Trigglow Pay → Payouts.
  2. 2
    Open a trigger in Triggers, set "When does it fire?" to Money and choose Fixed price or Viewer chooses.
  3. 3
    Optional: in Trigglow Link → Modules & tips, turn on the tip jar and set its amounts.
  4. 4
    Share your Trigglow Link and keep the overlay open in OBS while you stream.
  5. 5
    Check Trigglow Pay → Earnings to see each payment with its gross, fee and net amount.
Note
Trigglow's fee depends on your plan, and Stripe's card processing applies on top. Your current rates are shown in Trigglow Pay → Payouts. See Pricing for the plan rates.
Tip
If OBS is closed when a payment lands, Trigglow retries and fires the alert as soon as your overlay reconnects. If it still can't play, you get a notification and can fire it again with Replay in Earnings.
Tip
Earnings lists paid alerts, tips and store sales from the last 60 days. Search by viewer, alert, product or message, and use Export CSV for your records.
Note
Anyone with a Trigglow account can see what they paid (to streamers, plans and store purchases) in Payment history (/app/purchases).
