Question 1

How does getting paid by link work?

Accepted Answer

Create an itemized invoice in your dashboard — who it's for, the line items, a note and an optional due date. Socialji generates a secure pay-by-link page. Copy the link or email it straight to the brand from your dashboard. They pay by card in under a minute, and the funds are sent directly to your connected payout account. You'll be notified the moment it's paid.

Question 2

What payment methods can brands use?

Accepted Answer

Brands pay through Stripe Checkout and can use any major credit or debit card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover — as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. For larger US deals, ACH bank transfer is also available. They don't need to set up anything; the checkout link handles everything.

Question 3

Do the brands I invoice need a Socialji account?

Accepted Answer

No. Anyone with the link can pay by card — no sign-up, no login. That makes it easy to bill brands you found off-platform, like a DM deal or an email introduction, while still getting the security of card payments and a clean paper trail.

Question 4

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It's free to create and send invoices. Socialji takes a flat 10% platform fee from each paid invoice — the same transparent fee that applies across the platform — and the rest is paid directly to you. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees and no surprises.

Question 5

How is this different from escrow deals?

Accepted Answer

Escrow deals hold a brand's funds until you deliver and they approve — best for larger campaigns where both sides want protection. Pay-by-link invoices are direct payments: the brand pays and the money goes straight to you immediately, like a PayPal request. Use invoices for quick, trusted billing and escrow deals for bigger, milestone-based work.

Question 6

When do I get the money?

Accepted Answer

As soon as the brand's card payment clears, the funds are routed to your connected payout account and typically arrive in 1–2 business days, depending on your bank. You connect your secure payout account once, then send unlimited invoices.

Question 7

Can I send invoices to clients I already have outside Socialji?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits. You can bill any brand — whether you found them on Socialji or through a DM, an email, a podcast, or anywhere else. The brand just needs your invoice link. No platform account, no friction.
