Send a 2fans subscribe link in Telegram. The fan subscribes on the 2fans web checkout, and signed webhooks tell your CRM or bot when someone starts, renews, cancels or runs out.
The link
https://www.dropfans.io/u/{username}?subscribe=1
GET /links returns it for each creator. Subscriptions run weekly or monthly.

- App commission
- Approved apps earn 5% of every sale made through their links, for life. It’s paid out of our fee, never taken from the creator.
- Payouts
- Earnings land in the creator’s 2fans balance and are released 14 days after each sale. From $20, they can request a payout as crypto, a bank transfer or to a card through MassPay, or to Paxum. All of it is included with the API.
