Please add an OPTION for users to opt-out of the automatic renewals system for subscriptions. Many users occasionally sub for just one month to a streamer, perhaps because they've enjoyed a stream or two. It takes several clicks and page loads to turn off that auto-renewal, and many users can forget.

It is ethically far better to allow this feature to be switched off. Some users might then forget to resubscribe, but that is economically better than forgetting to unsubscribe and potentially losing money. Twitch, it is OUR money we're spending on this website. Basic ethics means allowing us to manage that money as we see fit.

Why are Twitch Prime subs treated this way? Users must always manually re-sub their Twitch Prime. Why not extend that option to all subscriptions? I'd imagine the answer is because Twitch does not make money when a viewer uses their Prime sub, so there's no advantage to them forcing users through several clicks to turn off the renewal in the hopes that they'll forget. This would reflect very poorly on Twitch.

With this as an OPTION rather than an across-the-board policy, those users who prefer the automatic auto-renewal are still served. With Prime subs already working without auto-renewal, an option like this should be easily implemented.

This is different from the previous idea regarding automatic renewals, which recommended automatic renewals be an opt-in, and Twitch's response was that they didn't want users to need to micro-manage. This idea is to make automatic renewals opt-out, so users will not have that micro-management forced upon them.

This is something similar to what has already been requested via this link a few years ago (Amazon Smile Charity Integration for bits/subs and broadcasts): https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310231-subscriptions/suggestions/19052218-amazon-smile-charity-integration-for-bits-subs-and

What I am suggesting is having an option for streamers to decide if they would like their payouts to either be sent to them directly, or if they would like 100% of their payouts be sent to a charity of their choosing. If ever implemented this can be selected by new Affiliates that are going through the application process by selecting where they would like to see their payouts go to, if they select the charity option a page would then appear showing the available charities that have been checked & approved by Twitch itself that the streamer could then select for 100% of their payouts to go to. For existing Affiliates or Partners this option could be found under the Affiliate/Partner options page where they can change between receiving the money directly, or giving it to a charity, this can be changed at any time back & forth and the switch would take full effect on the next available payout. This would be great to see if some streamers for example planned to do a month long charity event, they switch their payout option to going to a charity, they pick the charity they want the money to go to and then from the time after the last payout until the next available payout, all sub, bit & ad revenue that has been accumulated around that time would then be given to that said charity.

This would I feel be a wonderful thing to see be available on the platform, with Twitch and many of its streamers who have helped many wonderful charities & causes in the past having something like this be available for current Affiliate/Partnered streamers & also for new streamers who don’t want to do this for the money but would love to have the extra perks that Twitch provides for its Affiliates & Partners, having an option where 100% of all revenue made can be given to a charity would be a great thing to see become a reality. Getting subs & bits sent by your community where all of the money goes to a good cause plus you get all the perks such as emote slots, channel points, being able to upload videos etc would be a huge win win for streamers that are not Affiliates because they don’t want to do it for the money, but would really love to have the extra features.

The fees for converting to USD can be very high for some credit/debit cards. As the fee is done per transaction it can get very expensive if you doing multiple transactions. Sometimes the charge at the bank is more than what the acutal value of the product is.

Some people may not be aware of this as the charge is generaly done at the bank and not shown in the total on the site.

For example one bank in the UK is charging 2% with a minimum of 1.75 GBP to maximum 5.00 GBP per transaction.

If you buy 100 Bits at 1.68 USD it gets converted to 1.34 GBP and then a 1.75 GBP charge is added on top at the bank making it a total of 3.09 GBP.

Having local currency would avoid a extra cost we have on our end at the bank to convert to USD.

Hello Twitch Team,

I use bits very much and also like gifted subs. Unfortunately I have the "problem" with the subs that you can only buy and spend them directly.

Therefore, it would be great if you can buy and store gifted subs, similar to bits, to allocate them specifically.

This would have the advantage for users that you can buy a large package and not always have individual bills.
For Twitch it has the advantage that you already have the money and it must be given later to the streamer.
In addition, the User would certainly tend to spend more money for gifted subs.

Greetings

This is a 2 part feature request.

First: In the same way that bits lets you select any bit badge, gift badges should stay consistent with this idea. I would like to be able to select any badge I've earned even lower values.

Second: We need more gift sub badges than the current 1000 cap. I know plenty of people in streams I frequent that already passed this including myself. In the same way that bit badges keep going, the gift badges could be designed to be inverted at the next levels to be distinct. I'm actually at the 1.25 bit badge and that level of badges are super awesome to see. I'd like to see the same for gifts because honestly, while I like supporting the streamers I like, that bit badge is huge encouragement to add as well. Just saying that twitch is missing out on a lot money by not giving us more achievements for gifting.
