Hello everyone,
We've launched IndieBill, a payment method designed specifically for indie cam models & adult entrepreneurs in general. We payout 85%, protect you from chargebacks & automatically deliver sold content to your customers.
With us you can start accepting credit card payments anonymously within 24 hours and without any setup cost. Payouts are also sent for free twice a month.
We're also building free websites for the models working with us (here is a quick example).
Below you will find detailed information about IndieBill as well as getting a website with us. Of course, do not hesitate to ask questions. We gladly answer any and all questions, including on our tech and business metrics.
Please note that we're still in Beta because we don't quite have as many features as we'd like, however it works very well and it's absolutely stable - we crashed about an hour over 2 months.
**The earnings**
Unlike traditional payment service providers like CCBill, there's no need to pay $500 to $1000 in annual fees to Visa / MasterCard. However, we charge a $0.95 service fee per transaction (not per content to customers) so here are the maths on the earning side:
- if your customer spends $10, then you earn $7.7 (9.05 * 85%)
- if your customer spends $20, then you earn $16.2 (19.05 * 85%)
- if your customer spends $100, then you earn $84.2
There are no other fees into IndieBill, and you are protected from chargebacks.
**How it works**
Please know that you can sign up with just an email at https://www.getindiebill.com/beta/signup and fully test how it works, everything will be functional except for payments.
In order to start accepting payments, you need to verify your identity. It generally takes between a few minutes and 24 hours to get validated (everything that you created during your text will become fully functional).
There are 3 sections: "Content" is where you upload, "Products" where you can create payment pages and "Sales" to keep track of everything (emails of your customers are also displayed there).
Please note that you currently always need to pick a content in order to create a payment page, so to sell Skype shows or receive tips for example, I recommend to upload a 'dummy' picture saying "Thank you for your order". That will be fixed in a few weeks as we roll out our new version and get out of beta.
Payment pages are responsive and very simple: there's no need to sign up, no need to click around and the payment form is displayed directly for increased conversion. We only ask customers for their email & credit card credentials so that it's quick and anonymous - no need for full name & address like on C4S and many other sites.
Here is a payment page example from a model working with us: https://www.getindiebill.com/store/checkout/feb7e044-57c6-4795-93cf-57ea28581971
As soon as a customer purchases, you're notified by email with the information about the sale as well as your customer's email. Customers are yours, we don't reach out to them (except in case of technical or billing issues) and we don't advertise other models.
On his end, the customer is able to download the content right after purchase and also has access to his personal library of purchased content if he wishes to download them again later on.
**Payouts**
Payouts are sent twice a month, the 15 and last day of the month. We've got free wires for most countries of the world including CA / US / all of EU.
Via wire transfer, the payout minimum is $25 for EU sellers and $100 for the other countries. Additionally we're able to send you your money in the currency of your choice at no extra cost, this way you get the mid-market rate instead of high bank fees.
We're also to payout via Paxum (free, $25 min) and Payoneer private load which comes at a 3% fee for you I believe. If you'd like to be paid through another mean, don't hesitate to ask: we try to offer solutions that suit everyone (but we'd rather avoid checks in the mail).
**Support**
On each IndieBill page is a chat bubble at the bottom right that you (and your customers) can use anytime to reach out to us. It goes directly to our phones and we do our best to answer live when we can, or within 24 hours.
We're only 2 people running the business at the moment however, so it's not always possible. We're based in Paris, France so that's +6 to +9 compared to USA - meaning we're often sleeping between during your late evening.
You can count on us to answer any and all questions.
**Getting a site built with us**
We're building and putting online free websites for indie cam models & adult performers who wish to sell with IndieBill. We pay for the hosting, get the coding done and deploy it online (you may also do it on your own if you prefer since we hand you over the code).
Here is a quick example for you to have a better idea of what we can achieve: http://wip.getindiebill.com/patriciaxxx/a1845dc5-8cab-4e4b-9f2e-8e70ede7f095/home_profile.html
The only thing you need is a domain, and well spending a bit of time with the team so we can gather your requirements, feedback and tailor the site to your needs. Of course, it is and will always be your website. Meaning we hand you over the HTML, CSS & JavaScript and you can change it as you like, use other payment service providers etc.
If you already have a website and just would like to add credit card processing / a store section, no problem we help all the same (here is an example of a store powered by us and inserted in an existing site).
About the site:
- it's responsive (works on mobiles and tablets)
- it sells contents which are delivered automatically to customers (up to 15 GB per file)
- it can process any transaction for digital contents & services (Skype shows, tips, tributes, etc.)
- it's your site, you can display other payment methods etc. as you see fit
- we can adapt it and tailor it to your needs
- it's free, except if you'd rather host it yourself then you have to pay for your hosting (the coding is always free)
Getting your site up and running takes from 3 to 10 days assuming you're available at least 4 hours for getting your part of the job done, mainly: giving feedback and requirements, uploading your contents and creating your payment pages on IndieBill. It takes about 4 hours work for you but you can split it up in many small sessions if you'd like.
We can absolutely add / modify / delete pages according to your needs.
**Customized payment page design**
We're able to customize your payment pages' design so that your customers stay in your universe throughout their purchase.
Here is an example: https://www.getindiebill.com/store/checkout/64379bde-af4d-425d-a2af-05a9418045b4
The service is free, however it still takes quite some time for us to provide custom designs so at the moment we're only doing it for models who 'shows' that they'll be selling at least for $300 / week. Once we work out the details better, it'll become freely accessible.
**New version**
We're working on a new version that should be live around the end of the month. This new version will make IndieBill more powerful and flexible, in particular we'll be adding a shopping cart and specific payment pages for the main products (Skype shows, videos, tips etc.) with additional features.
It will also allow us to have a more solid ground to build new features, in particular we're aiming to provide recurring billing and APIs (it allows other developers to build cool things on top of our tech) in the incoming months.
We look forward to your questions and working with you.

The last time I personally used it was about a year ago, may I ask you what fees Payoneer takes when you receive a private load?
