Revenue History
Section titled “Revenue History”The Revenue History page tracks your income across several tabs:
- Tip List — every tip, filterable by username, email, or message, with options to edit, delete, or block a tipper. Exports to CSV (date, transaction ID, provider, amount, currency, tipper, email).
- Top Tippers — ranked by total amount tipped, with average tip and total tip count.
- Cheers List — every cheer received, filterable by username and time period.
- Top Cheerers — ranked by total amount cheered.
- Income Report — a monthly report (with your business name, address, and tax number) you can generate and download.
SE.Sponsorships payments are handled through Tipalti; tipping is handled separately (PayPal, or SE.Pay/Stripe — see SE.Pay). If you manage multiple income streams, export your data regularly to keep accurate records.
Tax forms
Section titled “Tax forms”StreamElements issues a 1099 form to creators who earn $600 or more in a tax year, split by income type:
