Add a Payment Link to Your Kick Profile

Kick has no dedicated payment-link field. A link to a payment page has to go in one of two existing spots — the social media list in your channel's bio section, which accepts a username rather than a full web address, or a custom panel on the Channel page's About tab, which accepts a title, a description, and an image.

Kick's Partner Program checklist names "relevant social media links and a completed About section" as one of the signals reviewers check, listed alongside a minimum average of 75 CCV over the past 30 days and at least 250 followers (How to join the KICK partner program, Kick.com Help Center). A completed profile is therefore worth finishing whether or not you ever apply.

Where does a payment link actually go on a Kick profile?

A payment link on Kick goes in the social media list inside your channel's bio section or in a custom panel on the About tab. Kick labels neither slot "payment," so a creator is repurposing a general-purpose field, and what the destination page explains matters as much as the placement itself.

Kick's channel-page guide is an 11-point numbered walkthrough of the page, in which item 10 is the bio section — "your channel name, follower count, social links, and bio" — and item 11 is the control to "Enter Edit Panels mode" (Understanding your KICK channel page, Kick.com Help Center).

Kick's panels article describes channel panels as "graphics and text that feature underneath your livestream," used "to advertise your social media, events, or provide further information for your community". Nothing in Kick's published channel-page or panels documentation names a third placement for an outbound link.

How do I add a link with Kick's social media field?

Kick's social media field is edited from the Profile Information page, in the Social Media section, and it takes a username rather than a full URL. Entries saved there appear on your Kick livestream page below the video player. Because the field stores an account name, a payment page fits there only if Kick's list renders a matching platform row.

"Social media accounts are shown on your livestream page below the video player. To add your social media accounts, enter only the username for each account. You do not need to include the full web address." — Kick.com Help Center, How to update your profile

Kick's profile article gives only that username instruction, names no supported platforms, and documents no generic "website" row for the social media field (How to update your profile, Kick.com Help Center). Treat the supported set as whatever your own Profile Information page renders today, and open that page to confirm a slot exists before planning around one. A payment page that has its own account name on a platform Kick lists can go there; a general link-in-bio URL typically has no matching row, which is why the About-tab panel is the more reliable spot for one.

Kick states that a channel name can only be updated once every 60 days, and that updating a Kick username requires 2-Factor Authentication enabled on the account (How to update your profile). Both limits are worth knowing before you start editing the same page your social links live on.

How do I add a payment panel to my Kick About tab?

Adding a payment panel to a Kick About tab takes five steps: open your Channel Page, click the About tab, click Edit Panels, enter the panel details, then click Add. Kick's panels article names exactly three fields for a panel — a title, a description, and a panel image (How to add or remove KICK channel panels).

Kick's panels article adds one explicit shortcut for image-only panels: "If you just want an image to be displayed in your panel, you can leave both the title and description fields blank" (How to add or remove KICK channel panels).

Removing and reordering panels on Kick follow the same three-step route as adding one — Channel Page, then the About tab, then Edit Panels — after which a creator clicks Remove on a panel to delete it, or clicks and drags to change the order (How to add or remove KICK channel panels). A payment panel can therefore be dragged to the top of the About tab rather than sitting below older ones.

Kick's panels article names no URL or link field and never states that a panel's title, description, or image is clickable (How to add or remove KICK channel panels). Third-party panel guides describe Kick panels as clickable, but no Kick-published page confirms that behavior, so write the destination as plain, readable text — fanbell.link/yourname, for example — that a fan can retype or copy even if it never renders as a hyperlink.

Keep the panel title specific rather than generic: "Pay Me" tells a fan nothing about what they are buying, while "Ask Me a Question" or "Book a Coaching Review" sets an expectation before the click. Kick publishes upload specs for two profile images — a 4MB maximum file size with JPG, JPEG and PNG support, a 128px x 128px minimum for avatars, and 1920px x 1080px dimensions for the offline banner — but documents no equivalent size or format rule for panel images (How to update your profile), so check any panel image on a phone screen after uploading it.

Should the link go straight to a payment app or to a page with options?

Point a Kick profile link at a page that lists named, priced offers rather than at a raw payment app. A bare Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal.me link opens a blank amount field, which pushes what the payment is for, what it costs, and what the fan gets into chat or DMs — three questions a page of listed offers answers before checkout.

Price flexibility is the practical difference. Kick states that "KICK uses flat $5 subscriptions globally, in all supported countries" and that "there is no regional pricing — every subscription, gifted sub, and KICKs purchase is denominated in USD at the same global price". A link out of your Kick profile is the only route to a price you set yourself, offer by offer.

Payment-method coverage differs too. Kick states that "KICK does not support prepaid payment cards for recurring subscriptions," while noting that gifted subscriptions are not affected by that restriction (Understanding common payment queries, Kick.com Help Center). A one-off checkout on an external page is not a recurring subscription, so it is not bound by that particular Kick restriction.

On FanBell, a fan taps the link, picks a listed offer, and pays through a single checkout, with the offer's price and inclusions set before the fan reaches the payment screen (how it works). The same reasoning applies to placing a paid offer link inside a Discord server, another spot where a bare app link leaves the price and the deliverable unstated.

What should a fan see once they tap the link?

A fan who taps a Kick payment link should land on a page naming each thing they can pay for with a price attached, not a blank request for an amount. Naming and pricing each offer up front removes the back-and-forth that otherwise happens in DMs before a fan is willing to send anything.

FanBell's own documentation states that fans "check out as a guest and pay by card through Stripe — there's no FanBell account to create and no app to install". The card is processed by Stripe, whose published US rate is 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card transaction (Pricing & Fees, Stripe).

A FanBell page reached from a Kick profile link can list any combination of five offer types — a Paid Private Question for a quick text answer, a Personalized Shoutout for a custom clip, a Creator Service for a defined deliverable like a VOD review, a Tip for open-ended support, or Wishlist / Project Support toward a stated goal — and a creator turns on whichever combination fits their channel.

Paid Private Questions are text-only from the fan, with the creator replying by text or voice; Creator Services and Personalized Shoutouts support full media, so a fan can attach a file and the creator can deliver files, audio, or video back. None of FanBell's paid exchanges route through Kick chat or Kick DMs, because the point of a profile payment link is moving the transaction off Kick entirely.

Does a payment link help you toward Kick Partner status?

A payment link is not a Kick Partner Program requirement, and it moves none of the program's counted metrics. It does help with the single qualitative item on Kick's Partner checklist — a profile carrying relevant social media links and a completed About section — which Kick reviewers check alongside the numeric thresholds below.

Kick's Partner Program page lists a verified channel, a minimum average of 75 CCV in the past 30 days, 30 hours streamed in the past 30 days, a minimum of 25 active subscriptions, 250 unique chatters, 3 VODs, and at least 250 followers, while noting that these metrics "are subject to change" (How to join the KICK partner program).

Creators with an established audience elsewhere can bypass those thresholds through Kick's Fast Track route, which Kick says its Partnerships team reviews within 24 hours of submission (How to join the KICK partner program).

Kick's help center publishes two different bars under the Partner name, so check which one applies to your channel. Kick's monetisation article states that becoming eligible to enable subscriptions requires streaming "at least 5 total hours," counted cumulatively across sessions (How to become a KICK Partner and how KICK streaming works, Kick.com Help Center), while Kick's separate Partner Program application page lists the higher 75 CCV and 250-follower metrics. Kick directs Creators to the Achievements section of the KICK dashboard to see which requirements a channel still has outstanding.

Partner status is not a prerequisite for getting paid directly. FanBell's terms state that "A connected Stripe account is required to receive money from paid widgets," and neither the terms nor the pricing page sets any follower or audience threshold (terms, version 2026-08-03; pricing). A creator well under Kick's 250-follower Partner threshold can therefore collect payments through a profile link while working toward Partner separately. For the full breakdown of what Partner unlocks versus what is available without it, see Make Money on Kick Without Being a Partner.

How much of a payment actually reaches you?

How much of a fan's payment reaches you depends on which system carries it, because Kick's native tools and an external link deduct different fees. Kick applies a 95/5 split to subscriptions and KICKs tips, while an off-platform page charges its own platform fee, with card processing billed separately on top of that fee.

Kick subscriptions are a flat $5 per month, of which the streamer receives $4.75 and Kick takes $0.25 as a processing fee (Understanding KICK's revenue split, Kick.com Help Center). The same 95% applies to Kick's tipping currency: Kick states that "KICKs are KICK's tipping currency. When a Viewer sends KICKs on your channel, you receive 95% of the value" (Understanding KICK's revenue split).

"You keep 95% of all revenue you receive, the other 5% is taken as a processing fee, meaning Kick takes no percentage of your earnings." — Kick.com Help Center, Understanding KICK's revenue split

Kick's 95/5 split only matters once a channel qualifies to monetise. Kick states that you need to be a KICK Affiliate or KICK Partner to earn revenue from subscriptions and other monetisation tools, and that both programs require meeting milestones before you can monetise (Understanding KICK's revenue split). An external payment page linked from a Kick profile carries no equivalent audience gate, because the page is not part of Kick's monetisation program.

FanBell is free to start with no monthly fee and charges a 12% platform fee only on a completed payment; its pricing page defines creator earnings as "fan payment − platform fee − processing fee" and states that the platform fee is configurable and may change as the product evolves. FanBell's terms, version 2026-08-03, describe the same charge as an application/platform fee collected through Stripe Connect, and state that a refunded order returns FanBell's platform fee while Stripe generally retains its processing fee on the original charge.

Payout timing differs between the two routes as well. Kick's payout documentation states that US streamers receive ACH bank transfers 2 to 3 business days after a payout is initiated, and that instant debit-card payouts are capped at $9,000 USD per payout (KICK payout schedule, thresholds, and methods, Kick.com Help Center).

Kick puts the usual arrival window for streamers outside the US at 3 to 7 business days, because every Kick deposit is initiated from Kick's US-based Stripe account. Kick also states that Stripe applies a 1.50% currency conversion fee when a streamer's bank account is not in USD, and that Kick absorbs that conversion fee rather than deducting it.

Kick states that a first payout is processed only after Stripe verification is complete and the next monthly cycle closes, up to 30 days after the end of that month, and that non-verified streamers receive monthly payouts only while verified streamers can choose weekly or monthly. Money collected through a FanBell offer lands in the creator's own connected Stripe account instead, which FanBell's terms make a prerequisite for receiving any payment at all.

Because that money sits in your own Stripe account, Stripe's published Connect timings apply rather than Kick's. Stripe documents that a charge made on behalf of a connected account "accumulates in the connected account's balance and is paid out on a daily rolling basis".

Stripe puts standard payout arrival at "1-2 business days after submission" and states that instant payouts "typically reach the account within 30 minutes". Stripe also warns that a brand-new account waits longer for its first deposit: "After you successfully receive your first live payment, Stripe typically schedules your initial payout to complete within 7-14 days" (Payouts, Stripe Docs).

Neither payment path is universally cheaper for every creator. Kick's native tools carry a smaller percentage but stop at subscriptions and KICKs and require Affiliate or Partner status first, while an external link opens up structured offers such as paid questions and priced services that have no native Kick equivalent. For the fuller breakdown of Kick's own earning tools, see How Much Does Kick Pay Streamers.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions Kick streamers ask most about profile payment links: no Partner or Affiliate status is required to add one, Kick documents no clickable link field for panels, the social media field takes usernames rather than full URLs, money from an external link settles on Stripe's 1-2 business day standard payout schedule, and FanBell charges a 12% platform fee only on a completed payment.

Do I need to be a Kick Partner or Affiliate to add a payment link?

No. Partner is a separate application tier that lets Creators earn revenue per stream, gated behind metrics including 75 CCV, 250 followers, and 25 active subscriptions (How to join the KICK partner program). Kick publishes no requirement tying Partner or Affiliate status to what you may put in your profile's social field or panels, so an outside payment link works the same either way.

Can I put a clickable hyperlink in a Kick panel?

Kick's panels article documents a title field, a description field, and a panel image, names no URL or link field, and does not state that panels are clickable (How to add or remove KICK channel panels). Because Kick has not published that behavior, write the full address as plain text in the description so a fan can copy it regardless of how it renders.

What's the difference between the social media field and a channel panel?

Kick's social media field sits in the bio section below your video player and takes only a username, not a full web address (How to update your profile). A Kick channel panel, added from the About tab through Edit Panels, takes a title, a description, and an image, which makes it the more flexible spot for a standalone payment page (How to add or remove KICK channel panels).

Can I just type a raw Venmo or PayPal link into my profile?

Not into the social media field: Kick instructs creators to "enter only the username for each account" there, with no full web address, so a raw PayPal.me or Cash App URL has no valid slot (How to update your profile). You can type one into a panel description, but a raw link with no context pushes every detail — what it is for, what it costs — into chat or a DM before a fan will pay.

Does FanBell replace Kick's subscriptions and KICKs?

No. Kick's subscriptions and KICKs are native tools inside Kick, paid out under Kick's 95/5 split, and Kick requires Affiliate or Partner status before a channel can earn from them (Understanding KICK's revenue split). FanBell is a separate, off-platform page for offers Kick does not natively support, such as a priced text question or a defined creator service.

How fast does money from a profile payment link reach my bank?

Money from an external link settles on Stripe's schedule, not Kick's. Stripe documents standard payouts arriving "1-2 business days after submission," instant payouts landing "within 30 minutes," and a first payout scheduled "within 7-14 days" of your first live payment (Payouts to connected accounts, Stripe Docs; Payouts, Stripe Docs). Kick, by comparison, quotes 2 to 3 business days for US ACH transfers and 3 to 7 business days internationally.

What does FanBell charge if I use it as my Kick payment link?

FanBell is free to start with no monthly fee and takes a 12% platform fee only when a fan completes a payment, with creator earnings defined on its pricing page as "fan payment − platform fee − processing fee" (pricing; terms, version 2026-08-03). Stripe's published US card rate of 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction applies separately, as it would on most online payment tools (Pricing & Fees).
