How to start a money app for creators: get paid, split income and spend under your brand

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Get paid with a link
  1. Make a link for the amount
  2. Send it in a chat or an email
  3. They tap, pay, and you see it

Creators earn from many places at once: brand deals, platform payouts, memberships, merch and tips, often in different currencies and on different days. Income is lumpy and admin is messy. A money app built around that pattern can be a strong product for anyone who already has creators' trust, such as an agency, a network or a creator with a big audience.

What creators struggle with

  • Chasing brands for unpaid invoices.
  • Payouts arriving in several currencies.
  • Keeping business spending apart from personal money.
  • Setting aside tax when income jumps around month to month.

Features that help

  • Invoices and payment links for brand deals.
  • Subscriptions for fans who want to support them monthly.
  • Accounts in the currencies they're paid in.
  • A branded card for business spending.
