How it works

Creator monetisation in 7 steps.

From the moment a fan discovers a creator to recurring renewals — here is how every membership moves through the platform.

  1. 1

    Discover

    Fan browses categories, search and curated lists to find a creator.

  2. 2

    Pick a tier

    Bronze, Silver or Gold — transparent perks per price.

  3. 3

    Pay & subscribe

    Recurring billing via UPI, card, Apple/Google IAP or wallet.

  4. 4

    Unlock content

    Tier-gated posts, archives and media instantly unlocked.

  5. 5

    Tip / PPV / live

    One-tap tips, PPV unlocks and paid live attendance.

  6. 6

    Direct message

    Paid-tier DMs with response-time SLA per tier.

  7. 7

    Renew or cancel

    Auto-renew, upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime.

Subscriber flow

Discover → pick tier → pay → consume content → tip / PPV → DM → renew or cancel.

Creator flow

KYC → configure tiers → post / schedule → engage DMs → go live → payout received.

Operator flow (Trust + Payouts)

Verify KYC → review disputes → reconcile cycles → release payouts → ship tax forms.

Every tip, unlock and subscription lands in an auditable ledger that always reconciles to payouts.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does it pass Apple App Store review?

Yes — IAP is wired for digital content on iOS. We provide a web fallback for higher creator-share economics where policy permits.

How do payouts work?

Stripe Connect or Razorpay Route handle KYC, ledger and payouts. Creators self-onboard, set payout frequency and download tax PDFs.

Can we support adult content?

The platform can be configured for safe-for-work or adult-safe modes with age verification, watermarking and per-region compliance.

What is the platform fee model?

Operator configurable — typical splits are 80/20 (creator/platform) with promotional tiers up to 90/10. Apple/Google fee passthrough is handled.

How do you prevent piracy?

Dynamic per-user watermarks, screenshot detection, DMCA takedown workflow and CDN signed URLs that expire.
