Let members send each other money or a paid membership and keep a fee. The two admin pages, every setting in plain words, and the history of transfers.

Written by Team

Members can give each other real money from their site balance, or give a paid membership. You can keep a fee on every transfer. This article shows where the two features live in the admin panel and what each setting does. For ideas on how to earn from gifts, read How to earn from gifts on your dating site.

Where to find them

  • Money gifts: Dating Funnels → Communication → Money gifts

  • Gift of membership: Dating Funnels → Communication → Gift of membership

Each page has two tabs: Settings and History of transactions.

Settings (the same on both pages)

  • Collect the transfer fee: switch on to keep a fee on each transfer.

  • Transfer fee: the size of your fee. It can be a percentage or an amount in currency.

  • Recipient: who can receive gifts. By default it is all site members.

  • Transfer type: Account only (paid from the member's site balance), Direct payment (paid through a payment system), or Account + Direct payment (both are allowed).

What members see
