My idea is the streamer should pay or have a license to use the extension, pay once or periodically (not really decided), but it looks like extensions monetize from viewers instead. There is a way to monetize from the streamer that add and uses the extension instead?

Just Twtich doesn’t provide the mechanism for you to do this “on site”. You’d need to create a payment flow outside of Twitch yourself.

yes but how my backend would know who is the streamer when loaded in a viewer iframe? by looking at the api I’ve found nothing useful
