One course, sold on repeat, more of it yours
Price single videos or all-access tiers however you like. Viewers pay in stablecoins, the balance credits your Paymos balance on confirmation, and once it confirms the sale is final — there's no dispute window for someone to claw a streamed course back.
Where video-course revenue thins before it reaches you
Why does a streamed course cost so much to sell?
Four ways a video platform and its card processor cut into what a viewer paid for access.
The hosting platform takes its cut of every sale
Video-course platforms bundle hosting, streaming and storefront — and bill for it as a slice of revenue or a tier you keep paying as you grow. On a single-course sale, the platform's share plus its checkout can quietly remove a meaningful chunk before you see a cent, and that share rises with your catalogue, not your costs.
Card fees stack on top of the platform
On top of the platform, the card rail adds about 2.9% + $0.30 — roughly $9 on a $300 all-access tier. Streamed-content disputes and refund-after-watching push some sellers into higher-risk pricing. Two fees on one sale, set by neither you nor your viewer.
EU buyers drop at the bank's extra step
Card payments from European viewers trigger a bank verification step (SCA) mid-checkout. A share of buyers bounce off that screen and never come back — a silent loss on a sale you'd already won, concentrated exactly where a lot of course demand sits.
A finished course can still be refunded by force
A viewer can binge the whole course and then file a card dispute — and the rail can pull the money back months later, even though every lesson streamed. On digital video, the dispute rate runs higher than physical goods, and each one costs a fee whether you win or lose.
How stablecoin settlement keeps the access money
What changes when access is paid in stablecoins?
Four things that go right the moment a course sale stops routing through a platform and a card rail.
No platform skimming the sale
The viewer pays to your Paymos balance. There's no hosting platform taking a percentage of access and no separate processor cut — what they paid for the course is what you keep, minus one low all-in fee. Your costs stop scaling with your catalogue.
Your money clears in seconds
Payment credits your Paymos balance on confirmation, not on a payout calendar. No held-back reserve on a new account and no fixed payout dates — so a launch day's sales are spendable the same week, while interest in the course is still high.
No extra bank step to lose EU buyers
A wallet payment doesn't trigger a card-bank verification screen, so the European buyer who'd have bounced off SCA pays and gets access. You keep the sale you'd otherwise have lost at the last step — and the same flow works the same way for a viewer anywhere.
One low cost, and a watched course stays paid
One low all-in fee on the settled sale takes the place of a hosting slice stacked on card processing — on a $500 all-access year, that's a few dollars to Paymos instead of the double-digit percentage two rails skim between them. And a watched course stays paid: with no dispute window, a viewer can't binge the library and pull the money back. Full rate card in Pricing below.
How video-course sellers wire Paymos in
Which integration fits how you sell access?
Three ways to put stablecoin payments into your access flow.
Hosted Checkout — sell a tier with no code
Create a Paymos invoice for the course or all-access price and send the buyer to a Paymos-hosted page; they pay from their wallet and return enrolled. Best if you run on a video platform or site builder without a custom payment screen.

Embedded Checkout — keep them in the player flow
Drop the payment widget into your course page so the viewer never leaves. You create the invoice, the widget takes payment, and an HMAC-SHA256 signed webhook tells your system to unlock the video library the instant it confirms.

Payment Links — launches and partner promos
Generate a payment link for a course or bundle and drop it in a launch email, an affiliate's post, or a DM. The viewer pays from any wallet and access is granted on confirmation — no checkout to build for a one-off or co-marketed drop.

How a real access sale runs end to end
Four flows from real video-selling setups — all-access tier, single course, drip cohort, and bundle upgrade.
All-access tier — Embedded Checkout
A viewer subscribes to your full library from your course page. They pay the stablecoin you price in, the webhook unlocks every video instantly, and the money is in your wallet — no reserve held back, and a European buyer doesn't drop at a bank screen on the way in.
Single course — Hosted Checkout
A one-off course sells around the clock from a landing page. A buyer abroad pays the same stablecoin you set the price in, returns enrolled, and the net amount after processing credits your Paymos balance — no approved-countries list deciding whether the sale was even allowed.
Drip cohort — recurring invoices
A paced programme that releases modules weekly, billed monthly. Each cycle your system issues the next invoice and the viewer pays from their wallet — no stored card to expire mid-programme, and a missed cycle is a real signal rather than a silent decline.
Bundle upgrade — Payment Link
A free-course viewer upgrades to the paid bundle. You send a payment link, they pay from any wallet, the webhook unlocks the premium library, and the access stays granted — a confirmed payment can't later be reversed out from under it.

Honest disqualifier
When NOT to use Paymos for video courses
Four cases where a card-first video platform is the better fit.
Cards are the only payment method your viewers use
When the people watching your library have never held a stablecoin, a wallet gate in front of the player turns buyers into bounces, and no per-sale saving repairs that. Sell access on cards by default and surface a wallet option for the viewers who already have one.
A course marketplace supplies your audience
If a marketplace's search and bundles put your videos in front of buyers you'd never reach, its revenue share is an audience contract. Paymos moves the money, not the marketplace's shoppers. Keep listing where discovery is real, and sell direct from your own site alongside.
Free trials must convert by themselves
A trial that flips into a paid charge on a stored card has no equivalent here: when the trial ends, the viewer has to actively pay the first invoice. If your model banks on silent conversion rather than a deliberate yes, card billing is the rail built for it.
One cheap video is the whole catalogue
A single sub-$15 impulse video sells on checkout familiarity, and the fee difference at that price is loose change. Wallet rails compound on all-access tiers, drip programmes and a global audience — when the catalogue grows into that, the switch starts to make sense.

Pricing
1.0% per settled sale. Nothing skimmed off, no waiting on payouts
The same rate on a $40 single course and a $500 all-access year. High-volume tier at 0.3% on request. Compared with a video platform's revenue share plus card processing — often well into double digits combined — one low fee replaces two.
