WeTransfer Revolutionizes Payments with Integrated Feature
A Game-Changer for Content Creators: WeTransfer Introduces Direct Selling on the Platform
In a significant move to revolutionize the way content creators earn money, WeTransfer has announced the introduction of new features that enable users to sell files directly on the platform. This development comes as a response to the challenges faced by content creators, with a staggering 87% reporting late or missed payments.
No More Invoicing Hassles: Integrated Payments Simplify the Process
With this innovative feature, photographers, designers, illustrators, and other creatives will now be able to earn money immediately, eliminating the need for time-consuming invoicing processes. The integrated payments on WeTransfer are powered by Stripe and are rolling out globally to all users.
No Additional Costs: WeTransfer Covers the Fees
The company assures that, beyond standard payment processing fees from Stripe, there will be no additional costs for subscribers. Users who aren’t on WeTransfer’s paid plans will have access to integrated payments without added platform charges until the end of June.
A Global Solution: Over 100 Currencies Supported
WeTransfer supports more than 100 currencies based on a user’s preferences when onboarding with Stripe, making it a global solution for content creators. This feature enables users to set prices in their preferred currency, simplifying international transactions and eliminating exchange rate complexities.
Streamlining the Sales Process: ‘Request Payment’ Section
To use this new feature, users can upload a file and then set a price in the ‘request payment’ section when creating a folder. After setting a price, they can send the WeTransfer link to a client or buyer. The person who receives the link will have to submit a payment before downloading the files.
Removing Barriers: Secure and Simple Technology
According to WeTransfer CEO Alexandar Vassilev, "Millions of creatives already use our platform daily to interact with clients, fans, and share important work, but too often get tripped up by chasing final payments long after the work has been completed." By bringing payments into their product ecosystem, WeTransfer is committed to removing common barriers through secure and beautifully simple technology.
A Boost for Content Creators: Enhanced Security and Convenience
This integration supports translations for all WeTransfer-supported languages, which include Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, and Turkish. By streamlining the sales process and eliminating invoicing hassles, WeTransfer is poised to revolutionize the way content creators earn money.
Conclusion
WeTransfer’s innovative approach to payments has the potential to transform the lives of millions of creatives worldwide. By removing barriers and simplifying the payment process, WeTransfer is living up to its mission to boost the convenience and earning potential of its creative user base.
