For Deplatformed Creators

Deplatformed?
Get paid again — without a payment processor.

PayPal banned your account. Stripe dropped you. Your platform changed its rules overnight. You don't need another processor that can do the same thing next year — you need payments with no bank, card network, or platform in the loop, and money that's yours the second it settles.

Non-custodial Bitcoin Lightning payments, straight to your own wallet.

You're Not Alone

Deplatforming isn't a glitch. It's policy.

Every year, creators lose income overnight — not for breaking the law, but for being classified as "high-risk." If any of these happened to you, you're exactly who we built this for.

Banned by payment apps

PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App explicitly prohibit adult content and many other legal creator categories. Accounts get frozen with balances inside — and appeals go nowhere.

Dropped by processors

Stripe, Square, and traditional merchant accounts refuse "high-risk" categories. The processors that do accept you — CCBill, Segpay, Epoch — take 10–15% for the privilege.

Cut off by platforms

OnlyFans nearly banned explicit content in 2021 under card-network pressure. Patreon, Gumroad, and Substack have all purged creator categories. Your account is theirs, not yours.

When Visa and Mastercard update an "acceptable use" policy, entire creator categories lose income overnight. We wrote about how this happens — and why it keeps happening.

The Fix

Why a Lightning paywall survives deplatforming

Every payment rail you've been kicked off has one thing in common: a company in the middle that holds your money and decides whether you deserve it. Bitcoin Lightning removes the middle entirely.

Your wallet, your money

Payments settle directly into your own Lightning wallet. PrivaPaid never holds your funds — there's no balance to freeze, no payout to withhold.

No merchant account

No underwriting, no risk review, no merchant category code deciding your fate. There's no application to reject because there's no application.

Instant, final settlement

Payments confirm in seconds and can't be reversed. No chargebacks, no 7-day holds, no "pending review" on the money you already earned.

Private for your buyers

No card statement entries, no purchase history in a breach-prone database. Buyers scan a QR code and pay — no account, no identity attached.

Back in Business

Start selling from your own site in three steps

No waiting on approval emails. No sending your ID to another company that might ban you anyway.

1

Connect your wallet

Set up a self-custodial Lightning wallet like Alby Hub. It's yours — not an account someone grants you.

2

Add one script tag

Drop the PrivaPaid widget onto any page you control — your site, your blog, a simple landing page. Your content stays encrypted until payment.

3

Get paid instantly

Buyers pay with any Lightning wallet. You keep ~99% of every sale instead of handing 20% to a platform. See pricing.

Deplatformed creator FAQ

No. PrivaPaid is non-custodial — payments go from your buyer's Lightning wallet straight to yours. There is no merchant account to freeze, no balance to hold, and no outside processor sitting between you and your money. The only rules are SatsRail's published acceptable-use policy — and even a suspension can only stop future sales, never touch money you've already earned.

It's an alternative to depending on them. PrivaPaid lets you sell content directly from your own website with encrypted delivery and a Lightning paywall. You keep your audience, your content, and ~99% of every sale — instead of giving a platform 20% and your account's fate.

No account with PrivaPaid is needed to buy. Buyers scan a Lightning QR code with any Lightning wallet and pay in seconds. Many wallets need no identity verification at all, and nothing about the purchase appears on a card statement. See where buyers already hold Lightning-ready Bitcoin.

Nothing — because we never hold it. Funds settle directly into your own Lightning wallet the moment a buyer pays. Your money is in your custody from second one, which is the whole point after being burned by custodial platforms.

Yes. Legal adult content is welcome. PrivaPaid was built for creators in categories that banks and card networks label high-risk — the people who get deplatformed first. See the acceptable use policy for the details, and why we think adult creators will move first.

Minutes, not weeks. Set up a Lightning wallet like Alby Hub, register on SatsRail, and drop a script tag on your site. There is no underwriting, no merchant application, and no risk review. Here's the three-step setup.

SatsRail is the payment infrastructure behind PrivaPaid. What it can do: generate invoices, confirm payments, deliver decryption keys — and, like any provider, suspend service under its published acceptable-use policy. What it can't do: hold your money, see your content, or identify your buyers. Payments settle wallet-to-wallet, so even a suspension can only stop future sales — money already in your wallet is beyond anyone's reach. More on how the separation works.

They cut you off. Cut them out.

Your audience is still there. Your content is still yours. Put it behind a paywall that pays you first — money in your wallet the second they buy.
