Starting Monday, all users will be able to send
payments through the platform, Clubhouse said. The feature to
receive payments will initially be available only to a small
test group, and later rolled out to other customers.
Users can send payment to Clubhouse creators who have the
feature enabled, by tapping a 'Send Money' option. The
audio-based social network company said a small card processing
fee will be charged by its payment processing partner, Stripe.
The San Francisco-based company, whose app lets people gather in
audio chatrooms to discuss different topics, requires newcomers
to be invited by existing users before they can join.
The app saw its global user numbers soar after Tesla Chief
Executive Officer Elon Musk and Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev held a
surprise discussion on the platform.
In the year since it started, Clubhouse has faced criticism over
reports of misogyny, anti-Semitism and COVID-19 misinformation
on the platform despite rules against racism, hate speech, abuse
and false information.
