ShoutPaid: early access
We connect solo developers who sell web and app subscriptions with creators who promote them.
Early access is small, free, and run by hand: we are starting with 10 developers and about 20 creators. We take no platform fee.
Creators can pre-register now. The product list opens on November 12.
How the money moves
- Prepay at least $50 (or commit it in writing). Each commission is deducted when the payment happens.
- Creators earn only when a customer pays with their code. Developers pay only for those payments.
- 14-day hold. A refund during the hold cancels or reduces that commission. After the hold, it is final, even if the customer is refunded later. The first payout is on December 10, then monthly.
Pay creators only when they bring you a paying customer.
What we do
Creators who make content about your field pick your product and share it with their own code. When a customer pays with that code, the creator earns the commission you set. No payment, no commission. You don’t need to change your product’s source code: we use Stripe promotion codes (if your checkout accepts them), or App Store / Google Play offer codes.

- 12months recommended
- $50prepay, at least
- 14-dayhold
- Early access: 0% platform fee.
- You set the creator commission: at least 30% of each payment.
- Subscriptions: creators keep earning on renewals for the period you choose (12 months recommended).
- Viewer discount on the code: your choice (10% or more recommended). Stripe codes need some discount, so the minimum is 1 cent.
- Prepay at least $50 (or commit it in writing). Each commission is deducted when the payment happens.
- 14-day hold: a refund during the hold cancels or reduces the commission and it returns to your balance.
- Payouts to creators are sent by ShoutPaid or the developer directly (we confirm which by the end of week 2) first on December 10, then monthly.
- Unused balance (not on hold or owed) is refundable on request; transfer fees are yours.
- Changes: we email you at least 3 days before the early-access terms change. Subscriptions credited earlier keep their terms on renewals.
Who can join
Early access starts with 10 developers: at least 7 that take payments on the web with Stripe (web apps, and mobile apps that use Stripe checkout), and up to 3 apps that sell through in-app purchases on the App Store or Google Play.

FAQ
What if no creator picks my product?
Then no payment is credited and nothing is deducted. Unused balance is refundable on request.
Which payments count?
Only payments where a creator’s code was used. Clicks on a creator’s link are counted for the report but not paid. If the customer had paid you before, tell us within the 14-day hold and that payment is excluded.
I sell through in-app purchases. Can I join?
Yes, but of the first 10 developers, at most 3 can be in-app purchase apps. The commission base is your net proceeds after the store fee, and the code must give the viewer a benefit (Apple offer codes are free or discounted periods; Google Play subscription codes are free trials). Commission starts with the first paid payment.
Do you see my revenue?
We only look at payments made with creator codes, through a read-only Stripe or RevenueCat account or a weekly export you send. We never handle your customers’ money.
I use Lemon Squeezy or Paddle.
Not yet. During early access we only support Stripe on the web.

What we do
Solo developers list their web and app products with us. You choose the ones that fit your channel. You get your own code and short link. When someone pays with your code, you earn the commission the developer set. Commissions are paid from the developer’s prepaid balance.
The terms
- 30%commission, at least
- 14-dayhold
- Dec 10first payout
- No fee to join. No fixed payment per post: you earn only on payments.
- Commission: at least 30% of each payment, set per product.
- Subscriptions keep earning on renewals for the developer’s recurring period (shown per product), even if ShoutPaid later closes to new sign-ups.
- 14-day hold. A refund during the hold cancels or reduces that commission. After the hold, it is final, even if the customer is refunded later.
- The first payout is on December 10, then monthly. No minimum amount. The transfer fee is deducted from each payout.
- Disclose the partnership in every post: mark it as an ad (for example “#ad”) and say you earn a commission if people buy with your code.
- Not allowed: buying with your own code, posting your code on coupon or deal sites, bidding on the product’s brand name in search ads, cash or gifts for purchases, false claims.
- Changes: we email you at least 3 days before the early-access terms change. Subscriptions credited earlier keep their terms on renewals.

FAQ
Do I need a big audience?
No follower minimum. We look at whether your topics and language match a listed product and whether you posted in the last 30 days.
Which languages?
Any language a listed product supports. For now our messages are in English and Spanish.
Where is the product list?
It opens on November 12 on the products page. A product is listed only if its developer agreed. Other products are shared by email, only with creators who signed up with us.
Who pays me?
Commissions come from the developer’s prepaid balance and are sent by ShoutPaid or the developer directly (we confirm which by the end of week 2). If a developer’s balance runs out, we ask you to pause that product until they top up; payments made meanwhile are still owed to you.
Is there any cost for me?
No fee to join. The only deduction is the transfer fee on each payout.
