The brief

A group of creators wanted a place to talk to fans that they owned together: video calls, DMs, pay-per-view and wall sales, with no platform between them and the relationship. It had to bill as a high-risk merchant, pay out to many creators at once, and keep every fan's access age-verified.

What we built

01 Platform & creator profiles Creator onboarding, profiles, walls and fan accounts under thirstchat.com.

02 Messaging & video calls Real-time DMs, media messages and one-to-one video calls, priced per message or per minute.

03 Billing & payouts High-risk merchant account, PPV and wall sales, chargeback handling and payouts to every creator on the platform.

04 Verisdiction Age verification and jurisdiction rules, configured per state and country.

05 Distribution Launch clips and creator promos posted across platforms, each linking back to thirstchat.com.

The back office

Creators run their own business from the dashboard; the platform admin sits above it for the people running the company.

01 Creator dashboard An overview, fan conversations and call history, under the creator's own login.

02 Earnings & payouts Earnings and tips, and the payout requests that follow them, in the creator's account.

03 Media, posts & pricing A media library and vault, posts and drafts, mass messages, and the prices the creator sets.

04 Leaderboards & custom elements Tiered creator leaderboards from Diamond to Opal, podium cards and rank badges, designed and built as custom elements of the platform rather than a bought theme.

05 Platform admin Creator applications, moderation, reports, referrals and platform earnings, for whoever is running the company.
