Hey besties,
Summer is officially here, at least in my part of the world. It’s hot outside, but it’s hotter when (and on) YouPay! Welcome to July’s edition of What’s Up With You(Pay) — a monthly newsletter for the YouPay community on platform updates, new features, information and resources, events, giveaways, and highlighting featured creators. At this point, you probably know me… but just in case, I’ll introduce myself: I’m Victoria, and I’m a writer, editor, researcher, financial dominatrix, and YouPay’s VP, Creator Relations. More importantly, I’m here to talk about what we’re doing here at YouPay, for you and with you!
June was a big month for us all here at YouPay. We hosted our third YouPay Cocktail Club event, added some sexy new features as suggested by many of you, and celebrated Pride and Juneteenth, though we believe liberation and freedom should be celebrated 365 days a year. We’ve seen more creators make the switch to YouPay.bio, our new adult-creator-friendly link-sharing service (with direct tipping and wishlist integration!) and launched our hottest merch collection yet.
It’s only getting better from here. Are you ready to hear what’s on the horizon for July?
🔥 What’s New? 🔥
Features and Events

We introduced youpay.bio, our new link-sharing platform designed for adult creators! Have you heard about it?
- All YouPay creators receive a unique, shareable link featuring direct cash-gifting integration, your social and content site links, and gifts from your wishlist!
- Your youpay.bio link is located under the “My Bio” section of your dashboard’s drop-down menu, and your social links can be updated via your social settings. Adult content sites are 100% welcome, and can be added as a custom link card.

YouPay Cocktail Club, NYC, was an incredible experience.
- Three hours of an open bar, swag bags, professional photography, networking with incredible local creators, and good snacks? Of course, it was going to be a good time, but we couldn’t have imagined how much fun we’d have.
- Couldn’t make it? One of our creators, Sera, filmed a vlog! You can find it here, watch it, and see how much fun we had… but fair warning, you might experience a little (or a lot) of FOMO!
- Stay tuned for more events this year – we may not be able just yet to get to all the places that have been suggested but we will make sure you have plenty of notice on the next one in case you can make it. Don’t miss the opportunity to have your fans send you either!

Crypto payments are now live on YouPay!
- For fans that want an extra layer of discretion and the crypto bros, we’ve added the option to pay with cryptocurrency at checkout! Bitcoin, USDC, etc… and creators receive the cash directly in their creatorflow wallet to be withdrawn to their banks, debit cards, or as a gift card. Exciting, right?

We’ve added new features and badge options for creators!
- Creators are now able to add premade gifts and bulk cash gifts to their wishlist: a new feature that makes updating and customizing your YouPay even easier. Our gifting data indicates that creators with five or more options on their wishlist are more likely to be gifted, so customize your YouPay to reflect what you want!
- In addition to our opt-in interest badges, we’ve added two new options: a badge for featured creators, who have modeled for, created content with, and/or have been featured by YouPay, and a couples badge for creator couples!

July marks our third-annual giveback campaign to Pineapple Support! Each gift on YouPay during July will lead to a 50-cent donation allocated to the adult industry mental health charity. Gifting on YouPay already has benefits… but this benefits the creator community differently.
- Last year, we donated over $12,000! This year? We’re hoping to double it. All you have to do is get gifted on YouPay to give back.
- You can read our press release about the charity campaign here.
- We also sponsor the Pineapple Support podcast, “F*ck Being Fine.” Tune in on Spotify!
✨ Giveaways + Promotions! ✨

Share your youpay.bio link on X or Instagram and tag us for a chance to win a gift! We’ll be surprising creators all month long… and your fans will know where to see more of you, from your video clips to your social media feeds! It’s a win-win: safe and secure payments, adult-industry inclusivity, promoting your content sites and social media, and showcasing your wishlist wants all at once.

K3YP4RTY, a music project by XBIZ + AVN-nominated couple and YouPay creators Acadia and Asher Grey, is going on tour… sponsored, in part, by YouPay! We’re going to get a few tickets for the 8/1 show in NYC, so if you want to party with us and K3YP4RTY, send us a DM on X! Keep up with their tour on Instagram… where you might find an exclusive merch giveaway post soon.

More merchandise is on the way! Our “if you love me youpay me” baby tee’s were super popular, so we’re doing another run! So many creators reached out that we ran out in under two weeks, and the entire re-order we did was claimed at the cocktail club event. When the second re-order arrives, we’ll do a giveaway on Instagram and X. Keep an eye out!
That’s what’s up with YouPay, and we can’t wait to hear what’s up with you!
