Why Can We Still Operate with Stripe?

Here’s the scoop on why our partnership with Stripe continues, unlike some competitors. No secrets here—just full transparency and a little bit of VAT info. 🎉

When we heard Stripe was changing things up, we didn’t hit panic mode. Nope—we went proactive! 🚀 We reached out directly to Stripe to make sure we stay compliant and keep things running smoothly for you, our awesome creators. And guess what? We’ve got some exciting updates to keep the good vibes flowing.

Here’s what’s new:

  • We’re officially an e-commerce platform! (All features to be added over the next 4 weeks)
    Now, gifters can select physical gifts for creators from Shopify and Amazon stores! US creators, get access to US-based stores, and UK/EU creators can shop from local UK/EU stores. 📦 Gifts are sent directly to creators with no personal details shared—privacy first, always!

  • Every wish comes with exclusive content for the generous gifter (no VAT!). Think of it as a special “thank you” reward 🎁.

    • Bills, Subscriptions, and Memberships? These all require a monthly exclusive content drop to keep things exciting!

    • The Piggy Bank lets supporters access your profile feed and posts as a "Thank you" reward, also VAT-free! 🐽💫

So how does all this work? Simple! Our tax wizard sees bills, subscriptions, and memberships as recurring costs for ongoing content. Meanwhile, single gifts and the Piggy Bank allow for one-time support payments with a thank-you reward.

But wait, there’s more!

  • No links to adult sites—only safer options for your social links.

  • To keep payouts flowing smoothly, creators must share exclusive content each month (at least 3 posts) for active subscriptions and supporters.

And here’s where we really stand out: We’ve got a strict compliance system in place to make sure everything stays legit. Our AI is on the lookout for adult content (three strikes, and you’re out!), and all content goes through a pre-approval process to keep things clean and compliant.🎉💼

So, creators—get ready for:

  • Physical gifts delivered directly to you

  • More exclusive content for your supporters

  • No chargebacks and full compliance

  • A smooth, exciting platform to grow your audience and keep those rewards rolling in! 🚀

Let’s keep it fun and compliant—join the party! #PostAndParty #ComplianceCommitment #CreatorsCorner
