FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about earning on Sociaal.

How is Sociaal different from Patreon?

Sociaal is built for South Africa: you're paid in rands straight to your SA bank — no PayPal, no forex losses, no waiting on international transfers. Same memberships, plus link-in-bio, tips, and products in one page.

How do I get paid?

Payouts go directly to your SA bank account, in rands — no currency conversion, no international fees. Paid weekly once you reach the R100 minimum.

What does it cost to use Sociaal?

Creating your page is free. Sociaal takes a flat 10% on memberships, tips, and product sales. No hidden charges.

How do memberships work?

You create tiers with monthly prices. Fans subscribe and are charged monthly, unlocking the exclusive content you gate behind each tier. Up to 3 tiers — Free, a mid-tier, and a premium tier.

Is my payment information secure?

Yes. Sociaal never stores card details. All payments are processed by a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor used by thousands of South African businesses. Card data is encrypted and never touches our servers.

Can I sell digital products?

Yes! Upload PDFs, photo presets, courses, ebooks, or any downloadable file. Set a price, and Sociaal handles payment and automatic delivery to the buyer.

What is the platform fee, and how does it compare?

Sociaal charges 10% on all earnings. Compare: Patreon takes 8–12% plus payment processing, and Linktree doesn't do monetization at all. Sociaal is built specifically for SA creators, so you don't pay international transfer fees on top of everything else.
