Selling a plugin
A plugin can be free or paid. You set the price in the developer dashboard (never in the manifest), Streamiva takes the payment, and the proxy only calls a paid plugin for a profile that holds an Entitlement to it. Your server proves the call came through Streamiva by checking the Entitlement token.
Becoming a seller
Paid plugins need a verified developer account:
- Apply from the developer dashboard. Streamiva checks your identity by hand (KYC) and asks for the documents it needs to pay you.
- Accept the Developer Terms.
- Streamiva links your manifest to your developer account by hand. Until then the plugin can only be free.
Price models
| Model | What the buyer gets |
|---|---|
| Free | The plugin works for everyone who installs it. |
| Monthly | A subscription that renews every month. You may offer a free trial of 7, 14 or 30 days, or none. |
| One-time | The plugin for good, after one payment. |
- Prices are in shekels and include VAT. The minimum is ₪4.90.
- A purchase covers one profile, not the whole account.
- A new price applies to new purchases only; running subscriptions keep theirs.
- You can change the model (free, monthly, one-time) at most once every 30 days.
- You can always use your own plugin for testing without buying it: its token carries the kind
owner.
When a free plugin turns paid
Choose what happens to the people who already installed it:
- Grandfather (the default): every existing install keeps working for free, for good (
legacy). - Notice, then lock: existing installs keep working for 30 days, then lock until bought.
Owners affected by any model change get an e-mail and a banner in the website's Settings.
Your share
From each payment, in this order:
- The 18% VAT included in the price comes out first.
- The payment provider's fee comes out.
- What is left splits 80% to you and 20% to Streamiva.
Payouts
Streamiva pays once a month to an Israeli bank account, for sales older than 30 days, once your balance reaches ₪100.
Refunds, chargebacks and suspension
- A refund or chargeback is booked against your balance.
- A chargeback rate above 1% (with at least 5 chargebacks in 90 days) suspends selling, and payouts may be held for up to 180 days.
Leaving the store
- Withdrawing: the plugin leaves the store at once and stops renewing, but keeps working for its buyers for 30 days; then it is removed.
- A dead server: once calls to your server have failed for 72 hours the plugin is hidden and renewals pause. It comes back on recovery; after 14 days down it is removed.
- On removal monthly subscribers get their unused days back and one-time buyers a share pro rata over 12 months, booked against your balance.
What viewers see
The Streamiva apps on phones, TVs, Roku and Samsung never mention plugins, prices or purchases. Buying happens on the website. A plugin a profile has not bought, or whose Entitlement lapsed, simply contributes nothing to that profile's rows and streams.
