SOLUTION

Considering providing new value to users

The content your users have created can become revenue-generating assets. By embedding codoc's sales features, you can offer a new user experience where creation becomes income, with minimal development. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from service operators.

Looking to offer a cost-effective payment system to users
Signing up for codoc is free, with no system usage fee. The only cost is a 15% Sales Fee (Payment fees included) charged only when something sells, so users can start selling with no risk. For users who need more advanced features, there is also codoc pro (a paid plan).
Worried about payment management and customer support operations
We handle inquiries about how to buy, purchase-history lookups, and questions on Reader Plan renewals and cancellations. Your users can focus on content, and your company on running the service. For inquiries about the content itself, we provide a path that reaches the Creator directly.
How much development effort and time does it take?
We provide the documentation, and your team implements the account integration. Plan on 2 weeks to 1 month to launch, including testing. We start with a consultation and also offer technical support over channels like Slack.
Can we keep our own account system?
Thanks to account integration, your users can use codoc's sales features with their existing accounts on your service. With no new sign-up required, they can start monetizing right from their usual posting screen.
Does adopting it generate revenue for us too?
From the 15% Sales Fee on your users' revenue, the amount remaining after Payment fees can be shared between your company and codoc. Delivering value to users becomes a new revenue source for your service. Contact us for details.
Is personal and payment data handled safely?
Payments use Stripe, a global Payment platform, and card details are securely managed by Stripe. Your company never needs to store card information.
