As part of the Roku account creation process, Roku users are required to provide a payment method, either credit card or PayPal, for future Channel Store purchases. They are also asked to create a PIN that they will use when purchasing.

All purchases are made from the Roku Channel Store on the player. If a customer is purchasing a channel or app they select the channel or app from the ChannelStore, select “buy” and are asked to confirm their purchase. If their payment method is valid, the channel or app is immediately added to their Roku player home screen. If a customer is purchasing an “In-Channel product”, as prompted by the channel or app, when the customer selects “buy” they are presented with Roku Channel store screens to confirm their purchase. After they have completed the purchase they are automatically directed back to the channel or app.

Roku's Billing Services Program allows you to sell access to your channels or applications (apps) in the Roku Channel Store by any of the following methods:

• one-time fee
• recurring monthly subscription
• recurring yearly subscription

Additionally, you may offer the following non-subscription products for sale within your channel or app:

• Consumable Products – products that can be purchased more than once per Roku Account
• Non-consumable Products – products that can be purchased only once per Roku account

There is no cost to enroll in Roku’s Billing Services Program. However, program participants agree to pay Roku a payment processing fee equal to 30% of the revenues received (net of credits, refunds, etc.) for fee-based channels and applications as payment for handling and processing customer payments, developer remittances, customer receipts, customer accounts and sales activity reports.

Developers who want to participate in this program must:

• have a Roku Developer Account
• agree to the terms of the Roku Services Agreement
• provide necessary business or tax information as requested by Roku
• have a tax ID number or be a taxable entity in the U.S.
• provide additional required company information (if requested)

All developer remittances will be paid via PayPal. For channels that have a one-time fee or which are monthly subscriptions, developers will be paid within 30 days of the end of the month following the month in which the revenues are collected by Roku. For yearly subscriptions, developers will be paid monthly, within 30 days after each payment is collected by Roku, an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual subscription fee, or the first month’s pro-rated amount, as applicable.

By logging into the Roku Developer’s website you may see all of your sale transactions, any credits applied and payments made.

Fee-based channels and applications are created in the same manner as free channels, in other words, no additional coding work is required. Fee-based channels must be submitted to Roku for review and approval (just like non-fee-based channels).

If a developer is developing the channel for a third party that will receive any sales revenue, the third party must create a developer account and enroll in the Billing Services Program. Any fee-based programming must be submitted for Roku’s approval and published to the Channel Store in the name of the third party.
