A 2fans link is a normal URL, so your CRM can send it in WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS or any DM. The buyer taps it, pays on the 2fans checkout with no account, and your CRM gets told which fan paid.
How it works
- Create the drop once with the API.
- Give each fan their own link with a reference:
https://www.dropfans.io/buy/{productId}?m={ref}. - Your CRM or chatter sends it in the conversation.
- The fan taps it, pays and unlocks the content.
- The
drop.paidwebhook names the reference, so your CRM knows which chat to credit.
Check each channel's rules
2fans runs the sale, not the channel. WhatsApp's Business Messaging Policy restricts adult products and sexually explicit messages for businesses, and SMS carriers can filter adult content. Check how you send before you build on a channel.
Do you need your own processing contract?
Adding pay-per-view for creators to your CRM: no. Integrate the 2fans API and creators sell through 2fans links, on a checkout already set up for 18+ content. Providers advertise days or weeks for your own contract; in our experience it takes 6 to 12 months. Here you can be selling today, once the ID check and content are approved. Connecting other people's creators also takes an app review, usually a few business days.
Selling your own products on your own checkout: yes. 2fans can't take payments for those. Adult billers such as CCBill, Segpay and Verotel are the usual route.
Want your own contract later? Start here and you build real sales numbers first, with reports from the API. They aren't processing history on an account of your own, so each provider decides what they count for, but you'll apply knowing what sells.
