Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for electronically facilitating streaming payments are provided. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to access protected media content hosted by a content provider, determining a minimum currency increment based on a user designated payment type, and establishing a predefined content increment that corresponds to the protected media content. The method further includes determining a minimum session expense ratio based on the minimum currency increment and the predefined content increment, initiating a user session that permits access to the protected media content, and determining a quantification of protected media content that is consumed at a termination of the user session. The method also includes using the minimum session expense ratio and the quantification to determine an on-demand streaming payment amount and utilizing the user designated payment type to determine a manner of routing the on-demand streaming payment amount to a payment processing entity that is configured to facilitate a payment transaction.
