# How buyers pay

How buyers pay for a pay-per-view: a hosted 2fans checkout with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, no buyer account, charged in USD.

## What the buyer sees

A buyer opens a link and pays on the hosted checkout. They don't need an account.

- **Methods:** card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Returning buyers can also use a saved card or prepaid credits.
- **Currency:** charged in USD. Prices are set in USD.
- **Statement:** the charge shows our name, not your app's or the creator's. The name is shown at checkout.
- **Tax:** any buyer tax or add-on is charged on top of the price.
- **Telegram:** a Telegram link opens the 2fans Mini App on the same hosted checkout.

## What your app does

Your app creates the link and hands it over. It can't charge a fan directly, and it never sees card data.

## Limits

A drop costs $5 to $750, or it can be free. [Fees](https://2fans.dev/docs/handled/fees.md) has the rest.

- [Quickstart: your first pay-per-view link](https://2fans.dev/docs/build/quickstart.md): Get a key, check it, pick content from the vault, create a drop and find out when it sells.

2fans was called Dropfans until October 2026, so the API host is still www.dropfans.io and keys still start with dpfn_.
