Exploring the feasibility and intricacies of using Webstream to integrate a camming page directly onto personal websites, members have raised several points regarding payment methods, particularly the platform's past use of Paypal for payouts to models. Here's a summary of the key insights and experiences shared:
- Concerns were initially raised over Webstream's use of Paypal for model payouts, questioning the legality and compliance with Paypal's policies.
- Webstream clarified that they had ceased using Paypal for payouts following a policy change by Paypal in August 2015. They now offer Bank Transfer and their own PrePaid Cards supported by MasterCard as payment methods.
- There's a debate on the credit system for customers being too high, potentially hindering new customer engagement due to the inability to switch easily between models or hesitation to pay the high credit base.
- An issue was highlighted regarding a bug in the performer account settings, affecting the flexibility to set promotional credit amounts.
- The high minimum payout threshold of £100 for models to request payment was also pointed out as a potential drawback.
- Despite these concerns, the modern design and functionality of the Webstream platform were praised, suggesting that with more flexibility and adjustments, it could attract more models and customers.
- A question remains about the specific sites Webstream partners with or supports for this service.
These discussions emphasize the importance of reliable, flexible payment systems and user-friendly design in the success of integrating camming services into personal websites.
