Hello everyone,
Unfortunately Payoneer hasn't delivered the payment interface on Friday as they repeatedly said they would. I got an email from them last evening after asking for news, they said "Most likely Monday. Thanks for your patience".
Our patience is running out, but we don't really have a choice indeed.
For all of you having Payoneer as your current payout method in IndieBill and over $25 in earnings, you will receive an email shortly offering the following alternatives :
1) Waiting for Payoneer to actually deliver the interface
2) Receiving your earnings via Wire Transfer (for free even if under $100 earnings)
3) Receiving your earnings via Paypal
We're really sorry for the inconvenience and we look forward to get back to normal regarding Payoneer payments. On the bright side, as soon as Payoneer activates the interface payouts using their service will be free instead of costing 3%.
Have a great week-end,
Gérald

Hello everyone,
Payoneer has delivered the payment interface ! :)
However, it came along with a few surprises :
1) We cannot fund the account by Credit Card payment, therefore we've wired - which takes a bit of time. The money should arrive Monday, and from there all the payments will be issued and Payoneer payments shall never be such an issue again.
2) The structure Payoneer has put in place for us to fund the account is terrible currently, costing us several % in conversion fees. I am working on solving this with them, until we do so we may not be able to offer Payoneer payments for free as we thought.
I wish you all a great week-end,
Gérald

Is there a limit to the number of accounts 1 can have? I'm planning on creating 2 websites. I wanted to use Indiebill for both but I wanted to have one through Katy's service so I can get dailypay and have the other independent.
Also is it possible to have a comment/note box for an item?
IndieBill
02-27-2017, 07:42 AM
If you want to create 2 accounts go ahead, but please let me know on the live chat so we can keep track it is the same person behind each account without getting suspicious at some point.
Otherwise, we try to keep people having 1 account - but if you let us know beforehand that is fine.
Not possible to have a comment / note box for items at the moment sorry.

When will it be possible to buy many videos at once on IndieBill (several products in the card)? For the moment, the customer who wants to buy is discouraged because he has to make checkout 10 times if he wants to buy 10 videos and pay 0.95 $ for each video (if he could buy several videos at once, he would pay the 0.95 $ fee only once). It's hard to convince a customer to buy with IndieBill with that system.
IndieBill

Hello Miss_Anja,
You are right, we've wanted to have a shopping cart for a long time but haven't managed to pull it off until now - it proved harder than we thought.
However, our system is now setup to work with a shopping cart - we just need the shopping cart interface itself. Most likely it should be live during March :)
For now it is still possible to sell several videos at once with us, you need to create bundles by zipping several videos together. It's far from perfect indeed as it lacks flexibility in the choosing for the customer, but does allow to run nice promotions.
Have a great day,
Gérald

Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you know that we have eventually solved the issues with Payoneer / FirstChoice Mass Payout. We're now in and issued all payments a few days ago.
Very sorry for the people who received their payout 2 weeks late, it proved much longer than it should have been to get the account up and running - very painful. For the last pay period payouts have been issued right on time and it should now be smooth sailing.
A little bit more on payouts : we have very well advanced our automation software to issue faster and are confident we'll deliver by the end of the current pay period. We'll also be adding a sweet surprise during this month, a new payout method which is pretty neat :)
Shopping cart is next in the list, stay tuned !
Have a great day,

Hello SexxiLexxi,
Did you try accessing https://go.getindiebill.com ?
Because this page is not behind a security certificate (it is only static content) and should be accessed at http://go.getindiebill.com
Would be awesome if you can let me know so that I can better troubleshoot the issue.

Oh. While I'm here. Is the custom webpage no longer available as an option?
IndieBill
03-09-2017, 11:21 AM
Hello SexxiLexxi,
We no longer build websites for free like we used to (now there is a minimum in sales to attain first).
However, we now provide everyone with a basic store for free that you can manage from IndieBill directly : www.getindiebill.com/store/list/IndieBill_Demo
Would it suit your needs?

Hello everyone,
I got some news for all of you who are selling Snapchat accesses with IndieBill ! :)
We've been working with a partner during February to launch the first sexy Snapchat directory, and it is now live : www.sexysnapstars.com.
The goal is for us to start providing you with a steady flow on customers, so that you can use IndieBill both to sell to your own audience and to allow other people to bring you customers in confidence. Payments and payouts are fully handled by IndieBill, and the affiliate partners don't get to know your personal information.
In order for the affiliate partners to earn a living too, they will get a share on the sales they bring you. That share will always be transparent, and it will always be up to you to join or not indeed. For SexySnapStars, the affiliate partner will get 25% at start while you get 60% per sale.
Of course, if you join you will keep earning 85% on your own IndieBill sales.
I will be opening a dedicated thread for SexySnapStars soon but wanted to share the information with you first. We're still polishing the site and your feedback would be invaluable - the partner will start acquiring traffic as soon as 30 models are listed.
If you'd like to sign up, here is what you would need to do :
1) In IndieBill, click on your avatar in the top right and then "Get more customers" to read and join the program
2) Fill out your profile information at www.sexysnapstars.com/registration (takes about 5 - 10 minutes)
Don't hesitate if you have any questions.
Have a great week-end !

Is this new directory site owned by you two at Indiebill?
IndieBill
03-10-2017, 04:42 PM
Hello PhatGirlDynomite :)
No it is not, it is owned and developed by the affiliate.
However, as he is the first to work with us on this level and we want to get things right. That is why we are working closely with him so that we can monitor and make sure everything's working properly for everybody before letting accepting more affiliates. He works from the same office, we're in touch every day.
We've structured the deal in a way that the affiliate gets no personal information about the models : he never gets to see the ID documents, nor payout information. We are the proxy so that it is easier for him to focus on his business - acquiring customers - and you do not need to trust him with your information or money.
Let me know if you have more questions on this.

As always thank you for giving the rundown. Any plans for a skype directory or phonesex with a similar affiliate scheme?
IndieBill
03-11-2017, 11:10 AM
Hello,
Now that we have built the affiliate technology the goal is to eventually open it to anyone who wants to join (after an initial vetting process of course) so that people can build sort of "Apps" offered through IndieBill.
Ludovic and I have no plans on working on a Skype or Phonesex directory directly, but we do hope that people will be interested into building sites bringing sales to the community. If it works well, it should become very easy for just anyone to bootstrap a competitor of say CMD, Niteflirt or C4S by working with us.
We've always thought of IndieBill as a hub for adult entrepreneurs to work together easily and safely, that is the first move toward it :)
Have a great week-end,

First thank you for the update!
Once the connection becomes secure, I'd be interested in signing up. I just prefer to have https connection for when I'm entering personal information especially passwords.
IndieBill
03-13-2017, 08:36 AM
Hello SexxiLexxi,
I understand being concerned about sites that do not feature an HTTPS, however please rest assured that besides your password you need not enter any personal information into SexySnapStars : all requested inputs are for displaying information to your customers on your listing directly (except the Snapchat username).
Personal information only need to be shared with us, IndieBill, and we have the HTTPS of course.
I've transferred your feedback to our partner though so he thinks of updating to https.
Have a great day,

Hello Euforikdoll,
Latest payouts have been delayed by about 24 hours with Easter, but all is cleared since quite a few days. Is there an issue with your payout that we are not aware of ? If yes, please feel free to reach out via the live chat about it so we can resolve.
Kind regards,
Gérald
Hello Gérald.
First of all, thank you for your efforts in responding to all the issues.
I do shows by Skype and also send photos or make gifts... I do not like to put time for Skype or prices to other things. I prefer to agree on the price with the customer. Then I think I can use tips to cashing. Do you think it's a good idea?.
Is it possible for me to pay those 0.95$ instead of the customer? I don't like telling the customer, pays 50 and then he sees 50.95. I prefer to pay those 0.95$.
Is it possible to include the 0.95$ in the final price paid by the customer?
Thanks.
IndieBill
05-04-2017, 09:13 AM
Hello Kary,
I think it is better to use Skype show payment pages for shows rather than Tributes. You can create several pages, and creating a page is super quick (about 20 seconds) so if you tend to agree on different prices with customers maybe you could create several pages (or even create a page right on spot if it does not exist yet) ?
It is not possible for you to pay the $0.95 service fee instead of the customer. However, if you tell him $50 then you could price the page $49.05 so that he does see $50. Would that work out for you ?
Have a great day !

Does everyone here use Paxum?
Or do you pay the $30 for wire?
Thanks in advance.

06-13-2017, 12:14 PM
Paxum is not a method for payment on indiebill anymore, but first choice is.
For wire where the country is not in Euros, the minimim is 100 and if you are in a country eith Euros, then is 30.

Hi! I have heard of Indiebill but wanted to get some information before I went further.
Im looking to create my own website, can I use indiebill to process payments for indie skype shows and content or do I have to upload content to indiebill and do stuffs on that
naomi_doll
06-21-2017, 11:14 AM
You can do either one. You can set up a page to pay for shows, set up a page to pay for content and then deliver it through a different link (though I'm not sure how you would prove it was delivered so be careful) and/or upload your content and sell it there.

You definitely can do all the payment processing stuffs with indiebill! i don't think they make sites for models anymore, but they do serve as an awesome payment processor (especially for skype). you can also upload and host videos on their site for purchase, or have a tribute button option for different things such as custom videos, photo sets, and skype shows.

Hello everyone,
It appears I am no longer receiving emails when there are new posts on the thread. Could someone tell me how to re-establish this ?
Sorry for the people who had validations taking a bit longer than usual, were travelling to shows in Romania early June so the schedule was a bit messy.
@lil_smiley : I trust you have received your payout alright since then ? Don't hesitate to drop us a line on the live chat if you have any issue
@jupiter77 : You can totally make a site and redirect your customers to IndieBill whenever they want to purchase a show or a content, many of our partners do this actually. It looks like Wix.com is the preferred way of building sites easily (altough Wordpress SEO has the reputation of being much better), and linking to IndieBill is pretty easy :)
Thanks everybody for providing help on the thread, great of you <3
Coming back with big news soon ! ;)

IndieBill

Hello everyone,
I am glad to announce that we have partnered with a well established adult company in order to accelerate IndieBill’s development and provide you with more security.
In particular, this will provide us with the necessary resources to hire people and get a better job done. Since the beginning we were only 2 people at IndieBill (making it hard sometimes to cope with everything), and we should now gradually ramp up to being a team of 10.
Our focus will be on :
Hiring Happiness Officers which responsibility will be to provide quick & helpful answers to you and your customers as well as ensuring people are successful using IndieBill. We won’t be able to offer 24/7 live support directly, but that is what we are aiming for.
Hiring great developers so that we can accelerate the pace at which we deliver new features, and dramatically improve the ease of use.
The company which invests in IndieBill is named DNXCORP SE. They are listed on Paris stock-market and have been around running adult business for more than 15 years. Their yearly revenue is over 50 millions euros (you may know their brand Xcams.com).
Many people were worried that we wouldn’t last long in business due to paying out 85% per sale and covering chargebacks. We hope that you will now be convinced that IndieBill is a rock solid business and there are no risks working with us :)
Besides money, they will also provide us with strategic help over a number of key topics - such as payment processing, market understanding and compliance.
Ludovic and I retain full management IndieBill and we are not going anywhere : this is a commit strategy, not an exit one. However, the business will be relocated from France to Hungary - which should be absolutely seamless and not have any impact on our partners (service won’t be interrupted).
France is (sadly) not the best country when it comes to run e-commerce start-ups, especially in the adult industry - that is why we wish to relocate to a place where it’s easier doing business for a startup.
Our motivation for the operation is fairly simple: it’s been frustrating for us that we were not consistently able to deliver up to our expectations. In particular support has been slow at times and we couldn’t provide some much demanded features such as recurring payments, a shopping cart and website builder.
Given the scaling challenges we were facing, we’ve decided to invest time in finding investors so we can step up our game and bring more to the table for our partners.
In this special occasion, we’d like to thank you all for your extraordinary support. Many among the StripperWeb community were of the very first to join IndieBill, in a time where we were no more than just another website which may be dead within a couple months.
It is thanks to you that IndieBill could live on and grow. You have been bold enough to try it out, and then share your enthusiasm with other models. You are pioneers and we aim to reward your trust by building some amazing stuff for you :)
We wish you a great day,
With love from France,
Gérald & Ludovic
PS : Of course do not hesitate to ask questions if you fear about anything

07-10-2017, 02:56 PM
Hello everyone,
We've released two things today which should help new models getting started with us :
1) An extensive online documentation at help.getindiebill.com
--> This documentation will be updated thanks to community feedback, so whenever you read an article please don't hesitate to vote with the smileys so that we know where to improve :)
2) An up-to-date presentation website : go.getindiebill.com
--> Beyond our core features (85% revenue share, no chargebacks & free payouts) the site also clearly shows what IndieBill can do, which are the payout methods and everything we thought people should know before joining us. Don't hesitate to give us a shout on Twitter to support us, that would be much appreciated <3
Also, we've published 4 job offers for positions open in Budapest (Hungary). Don't hesitate to share around you if you know people who would like a cool job in Europe. Here are the different openings we currently have :
- Customer Happiness Officer (Support) (http://go.getindiebill.com/job-customer-support.html)
- Front-end Developer (http://go.getindiebill.com/job-frontend-developer.html)
- Fullstack Javascript Developer (http://go.getindiebill.com/job-fullstack-js-developer.html)
- UX / UI Designer (http://go.getindiebill.com/job-ux-ui-designer.html)

I mentioned before about wanting to have 2 accounts. Right now I only have one account but I'm almost ready to open the 2nd one for my other persona. Seeing the mention of studio account in your last post has me wondering if I could turn my current account into a studio account or some how merge the 2 accounts(once I open the 2nd once) so that I can access both accounts under 1 login.
IndieBill
09-04-2017, 03:57 PM
Hello Blovely,
You can go ahead and open a second account, no problems.
Regarding studio accounts, it may not be exactly what you think : it has no extra features at the moment. We keep internal list of accounts related to studio (+ studios' legal documents) to make sure everything is alright, but we haven't developed any master / sub accounts dynamics at the moment.
Hit us up on the live chat if you'd need some help to better setup with us, we can help ! :)
Have a great day,
