How PPV works
Set your price
When you upload a Drop or Video to your Public Studio, you choose the price in Credits. You can set a different price for each piece of content depending on its value, exclusivity, or effort involved.
Attach a Teaser
Add a 15-second Teaser to your Drop or Video. This is how potential buyers preview your content in the feed before deciding to purchase. Without a Teaser, new viewers have no way to see what they’re paying for.
Fan previews and purchases
Fans see your Teaser autoplay in their feed or on your Studio page. If they want the full content, they pay the Credits price you set. The payment is one-time — they never pay again for that content.
Setting prices
You have full control over pricing:- Set a unique price per Drop or Video
- Adjust prices at any time based on the content’s value or exclusivity
- Higher-effort content (documentaries, performances, in-depth tutorials) can command a higher price than quick clips
Fan experience with PPV
- Fans do not need a subscription to buy PPV content — they simply pay for what interests them
- They preview via your Teaser in the feed or on your Studio page
- After purchasing, the content is permanently available in their account
- Gifting is still available on PPV content — fans can send Credits during or after watching
PPV-only buyers do not get access to your CliQ. CliQ access is for subscribers only. If community access is part of your value proposition, direct fans toward a subscription instead.
