Setting up a payment stream is hassle-free with Token Tool. You can easily configure the payment stream by first creating a recurring payment collection. Go to the “Automated Payments” function in Token Tool, connect your wallet, and fill in the stream name, symbol, and insert the contract address of the token to be streamed. You can also choose any token available in your wallet from the drop down menu.
Once done, click on “Create stream collection” and confirm the transaction in your wallet to pay the fees. After the payment stream collection has been created, you will find an overview of existing collections that you created in the Automated Payments page. Click on “Manage” to manage payment streams.
You can then configure your automated payment parameters by clicking on “Create payment stream”, where you can specify the duration, payment rate per average month, and payment start time. Make sure to top up the payment stream contract accordingly with the designated tokens for payouts to be successful. To initiate payments, you must manually click “Transfer tokens to recipients” and confirm transactions in your wallet. This will execute the payouts based on the parameters you set for the payment stream collection.
