How to use "Pay To Open" Messages (PTO)

What are Pay To Open Messages?

Pay To Open (PTO) messages allow you to send private messages, photos, or videos to a recipient who must pay upfront to view the content. This feature provides a way to monetize your messages and content within your broadcasts or private chats.

This is how PTO pics will appear on the members side.

How to Send a Pay To Open Message

  1. Open Your Inbox: Go to your messages or broadcast area.
  2. Select Pay To Open: At the bottom of your message composition screen, click on the Pay To Open option.

  1. Set Your Price: Choose a price for the content you’re sharing. The price can be anywhere between $1.99 and $999.99.
  2. Save Your Settings: Click Save to confirm your price. Once saved, your next message will be a Pay To Open message.
  3. Send Your Message: Send your message, photo, or video as usual. The recipient will need to pay before they can view it.
  4. Adjust or Turn Off PTO: If you want to change the price or send another Pay To Open message, you will need to set a new price each time. To turn off Pay To Open without sending a message, simply click the X next to the Pay To Open button.

Note: To send multiple Pay To Open messages, you'll need to set the price each time.
