How would you technically implement pay-per-view, subscriptions, and real-time micro-payments

You’re developing a live streaming module for a virtual event platform where creators want to monetize concerts and fan interactions. From a technical standpoint, how would you implement monetization models like pay-per-view access, tiered fan subscriptions, and real-time micro-transactions (tips, badges, or shoutouts)?

Use a payment gateway like Stripe for subs + PPV, with webhook-based access control. Gate the stream via tokenized URLs or session checks. For tips/micro-payments, use real-time events (WebSockets) that trigger on successful charges and instantly unlock badges, shoutouts, or on-screen alerts.

Use a durable ledger + idempotent webhook processing + entitlements as source of truth and then use kafka/rabbitmq to reliably fan out payment events to realtime, notifications, and analytics.
