A Drop is a one-time payment from you to a creator. It's how you support someone whose work matters to you, in real dollars, without a recurring subscription.
On a creator's Vault, look for the Drop tab. You'll see preset tiers — usually a few amounts the creator has chosen — plus an option to enter a custom amount.
To send one:
- Click the tier you want.
- Enter your card details (or use a saved card if you've Dropped before).
- Confirm.
The charge is handled by Stripe. You'll see "Zayvay" or the creator's name on your statement, depending on the rail.
Zayvay takes a 5% platform fee. The rest goes directly to the creator's Stripe Connect account — they have it the same day.
Drops aren't subscriptions. They're one-time. To support a creator on an ongoing basis, see Subscriptions.
A Drop is one-way unless something goes wrong — see Refunds.
