Sell your podcast. Get paid into your Stripe.

Sell access to your content as a private podcast: one-time or by subscription. The money lands in your own Stripe account and the customers stay yours. We take a commission set by your plan: 10%, 7% or 5%.

How it works

From publishing to getting paid, in a few steps

Connect your Stripe account, set a price and Fonaria does the rest: the listener pays, gets their private feed, you get the money.

  1. Connect Stripe

    Link your Stripe account (or create one) with Stripe Connect. Payments land directly there: we don’t hold them.

  2. Set the price

    For each podcast, choose a one-time sale or a recurring subscription. One active offer per feed, your price.

  3. The listener buys

    From your public storefront the customer pays securely. Once paid, they get their personal link on their own.

  4. Get paid, with tax data ready

    The money is in your Stripe account. When the buyer asks for an invoice we collect what you need to issue it (tax code or VAT number, recipient code or certified email, address), ready for the document you issue.

The customers are yours

Direct payments, direct relationship

Payments flow through your own Stripe account, so whoever buys is your customer and the relationship stays between the two of you. If one day you leave, customers and payments leave with you.

  • Money lands in your Stripe account (direct charges): no payout to wait for from us.
  • You own the customer data: emails, details, payment history.
  • Sell one-time (e.g. a course) or recurring (e.g. a membership).
  • Revoke access whenever you want: on churn, refund or dispute access is removed.

The model

One subscription, plus a commission tied to the plan

No tricks: you pay a monthly platform fee and a small fee on sales. The fee goes down as you move up a plan: 10% on Starter, 7% on Pro, 5% on Scale.

Fixed plan fee

A monthly subscription to the platform, by plan. Includes private feeds, tax data ready for invoicing, analytics and support.

Starter 19 €, Pro 39 €, Scale 59 € a month + VAT. The offer is reserved for professionals, businesses and organisations. The full breakdown is on the Pricing page.

Commission by plan: 10%, 7%, 5%

On sales we keep a percentage tied to the plan: 10% on Starter, 7% on Pro, 5% on Scale. Below 5% we do not go.

Plan Commission You keep
Starter, 19 € a month + VAT 10% 90%
Pro, 39 € a month + VAT 7% 93%
Scale, 59 € a month + VAT 5% 95%

The fee never drops below 5%: that’s how the platform stays sustainable and independent.

Example

What happens on a single payment

Take an access sold at €50, on the Starter plan (10%). The commission is worked out on the total the customer pays, and that total lands in your Stripe account.

Price paid by the customer
€50.00
Fonaria fee (10%)

If the buyer asks for an invoice, the details you need reach you collected and validated: you issue the document. Fonaria’s fee is invoiced separately, aggregated monthly.

Freemium

Let them try before they pay

Turn on a free preview for a paid podcast: whoever opts in gets a feed showing only the free episodes. When they buy, they move to full access: same app, same link.

Bought on 12 October

It is the same address. Giulia gets no second invitation and adds nothing: the podcast already in her app fills up on its own at the next refresh. And the schedule does not restart, so paying never hides the episodes she could already see.

A schematic of the two states. The address is truncated and is not a real feed.

  • The preview shows ONLY the episodes you marked as free.
  • On purchase, access becomes full on the same feed: no new invite, no token to swap.
  • People on a preview count toward the plan’s free subscribers; there is no commission on previews.
  • You decide it feed by feed with a toggle in the settings.

No cap on your audience

Unlimited paying listeners

You don’t pay per listener: you pay the subscription and a commission on what you sell.

  • Paying listeners have no cap on any plan.
  • Free subscribers have a cap per plan: 500 on Starter, 1,500 on Pro, 3,000 on Scale.
  • The commission goes down as you move up a plan: 10% on Starter, 7% on Pro, 5% on Scale.

Monetisation questions

Does the money really land in my own Stripe account?
Yes. We use Stripe Connect with direct charges: the customer pays and the money goes to your connected Stripe account. We don’t hold it and you don’t wait for a payout from us.
How much is the fee?
A percentage on sales tied to the plan: 10% on Starter, 7% on Pro, 5% on Scale, plus the monthly plan fee. 5% is the lowest share we take.
So it isn’t free?
No, and we don’t pitch it that way: there’s a fixed plan fee plus a fee between 5% and 10%. The idea is simple: the commission depends on the plan, with the data for the Italian invoice already prepared.
Can I sell both one-time courses and memberships?
Yes. For each podcast you choose a one-time offer or a recurring subscription. You can run different offers on different podcasts.
What happens if a customer asks for a refund?
On a full refund, dispute or subscription cancellation, feed access is revoked automatically. On a full refund the related fee is reversed.
Do I pay per listener?
No. Paying listeners have no cap on any plan; free subscribers (previews included) have a cap per plan.
What are the plan prices?
Starter 19 €, Pro 39 €, Scale 59 € a month + VAT. On top of that comes the commission on what you sell, which depends on the plan: 10% on Starter, 7% on Pro, 5% on Scale. The line-by-line breakdown is on the Pricing page.
