Why Creators Choose PayRequest
Everything you need to sell digital products, subscriptions, and more.
Money Straight to You
Payments land in your own Stripe, Mollie or PayPal account on your provider's normal schedule. No platform holding your earnings for days.
20+ Payment Methods
Unlockt takes Visa and Mastercard only. PayRequest adds iDEAL, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, Klarna, PayPal — and USDC crypto for fans who prefer wallets.
Your Buyers, Your Data
Every unlock collects the buyer's email into your dashboard — exportable and yours. On Unlockt the fan relationship stays on the platform.
More Than Unlocks
When you're ready to sell subscriptions, bookings, a full store or invoices, it's all in the same free account. Unlockt does one thing only.
Your Brand, Your Domain
Custom branding and your own domain (pay.yourbrand.com) instead of a platform profile page.
EU Based & GDPR Compliant
PayRequest is built in the EU with full GDPR compliance — your data and your buyers' data stay in Europe.
Honest note: Unlockt is purpose-built for adult creators — built-in blur slider, anonymous checkout, and card processing that permits 18+ content. PayRequest's card providers (Stripe, Mollie, PayPal) prohibit sexually explicit content, so for explicit material on cards, Unlockt serves that niche. Choose PayRequest for implied/cosplay/fitness/boudoir-style and SFW content, lower transparent fees, direct payouts, and the option of USDC crypto payments.
