Get paid as a creator — no US bank account needed
If you create content for OnlyFans, Fansly, Fanvue or similar platforms, getting paid often means waiting on a payout provider, opening a bank account that accepts USD wires, or hitting a minimum payout threshold before you see a cent. A PayRequest payment link skips all of that — fans pay you directly by PayPal, card or crypto, and the money is yours immediately, wherever you live.
Why creator payouts are harder than they should be
Most platforms were built around a US-style banking system — and most creators don't live inside one. The result is a payout process with several points of friction before the money ever reaches you, and it does nothing for income a fan sends you directly.
- Most platforms pay out via ACH (US bank account) or international wire — both require a bank account that accepts USD, which many countries' banks don't offer cheaply, or at all.
- Third-party payout processors commonly used by adult-content platforms add their own ID verification, minimum balances, and processing windows — often 5–7 business days.
- Currency conversion can eat into payouts twice: once when the platform converts to USD, again when your bank converts back to your local currency.
- None of this helps with money earned outside the platform — tips, custom requests, or donations a fan sends you directly have nowhere to go without your own payment link.
A payment link that pays into PayPal or a crypto wallet — not a bank account
PayRequest lets you create a payment link for tips, custom content requests, or "wish list" style payments. Connect a PayPal account — PayPal operates in 200+ markets — or a crypto wallet for USDC, and that's where the money goes. No bank account, no payout provider, no minimum threshold.
Works in 200+ countries
Connect a PayPal account and you're covered in more markets than most creator-platform payout providers support — if PayPal operates where you live, you can receive payments.
Or get paid in USDC
Prefer crypto? Connect a wallet and receive USDC on Base — settlement is on-chain and instant, with no bank anywhere in the loop.
No payout thresholds or waiting
There's no minimum balance to hit and no multi-day payout cycle. Funds are available the moment a fan pays.
Separate from your platform account
This is for income from outside your platform — tips, custom requests, one-off sales — so it never touches your platform balance or payout schedule.
Set it up once, get paid from anywhere
Create a free PayRequest account
Sign up and connect a PayPal account, a crypto wallet for USDC, or both — whichever is easiest to access from where you live.
Create a payment link for tips or custom content
Set a fixed price, a 'name your price' option, or both. Give it a clear title like 'Custom video request' or 'Send me a tip'.
Add it to your bio or send it in DMs
Drop the link in your Instagram, X, or TikTok bio — or send it directly to a fan who's asked for something custom.
Fan pays by card, PayPal, or crypto
They don't need a PayPal account either — checkout also accepts cards and digital wallets, so almost anyone can pay.
Withdraw to PayPal or your wallet
Funds settle to your connected PayPal account or crypto wallet — no platform payout cycle to wait on.

Wherever you live, however you're paid
Creators without easy USD banking
In much of Latin America, Africa, and South & Southeast Asia, getting a bank account that accepts USD wires is slow, expensive, or simply not offered. PayPal or a crypto wallet skips that entirely.
Creators between platforms
Building an audience but not yet hitting a platform's payout minimum? A tip link gives you income from day one, independent of any threshold.
Agencies managing creators across countries
Pay creators directly via their own PayPal or wallet, without routing everyone's earnings through one shared bank account.
Creators who want a backup income stream
If a platform account is paused, suspended, or under review, a payment link keeps fan support flowing in the meantime.
Why PayPal + crypto covers almost everyone
Between them, PayPal and stablecoin wallets reach far more countries than any single platform payout provider — and they settle on a completely different timeline.
- PayPal's 200+ market coverage means most creators can receive payments without opening a new bank account.
- USDC settles on-chain in seconds — no banking hours, no weekend delays, no SWIFT fees.
- Every payment link generates its own record, so you can see exactly what each fan paid for and when.
- Card payments are accepted even from fans who don't have PayPal or a wallet — checkout handles it automatically.
