Can I use Roku’s own payment processing for PPV and Subscription Services?

Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that payment processing via Roku has some advantages and disadvantages:

1. They charge between 30 and 50% - depending on the type of media and volume
2. It only works for Roku users and is not connected to your users on other apps (such as your website, your mobile apps and your other ConnectedTV apps).
3. Your Roku account needs to be approved for this service by Roku and that can take a while (2-3 months). It’s also not clear that you’ll be approved for PPV purchases by Roku.
4. Depending on your requirements, building out your Roku App into a rental store which processes via Roku accounts can be quite an investment.
5. You don’t receive contact details of your customers for follow-up and cross-marketing. You don’t own your subscribers and customers, Roku owns them.
