For creators, receiving support from fans should feel exciting. Not like another task on your never-ending agenda.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new feature for U.S. based creators: you can now purchase gifts directly from over 15,000 stores using your YouPay balance.

This feature supports most Shopify stores in the United States, giving creators more flexibility, more convenience, and more control over how they use the funds they’ve earned.

If you’ve ever wished gifting could be simpler, safer, and more seamless, this update is for you.

Turn Earnings Into Real Purchases — Directly

Creators receiving monetary gifts often had to withdraw funds first, move money between accounts, and then manually place orders themselves. While that does work, it adds extra steps to an already busy schedule.

Now, when it’s time to withdraw your earned funds, eligible U.S. creators can choose to purchase directly from supported stores using their YouPay balance.

That means the funds you receive can move straight into the things you actually want — whether that’s equipment, wardrobe, beauty products, home items, collectibles, content supplies, or everyday essentials.

Less transferring, less juggling accounts, less hassle.

As Always with YouPay— A Safer Way to Receive Gifts

For many creators, especially those working online or in the adult space, privacy and safety are non-negotiable.

Receiving physical gifts has often meant navigating complicated systems, manually coordinating purchases, or relying on platforms that weren’t built with creator needs in mind.

This new feature offers a safer alternative. Instead of dealing with outside gifting workflows or exposing unnecessary information, creators can use their YouPay balance to complete purchases directly through supported stores. You stay in control of your funds, your purchases, and your process.

It’s gifting on your terms.

With access to over 15,000 stores, creators aren’t limited to a narrow catalog or a one-size-fits-all marketplace.

Whether your style is glam, niche, practical, cozy, edgy, or highly specific, you’ll have significantly more options to choose from. Skims, Alo, Frankie’s Bikinis — and so much more.

Currently in Beta, Just Getting Started

This feature is currently in beta, and we’re actively inviting feedback from creators using it.

Your input matters. We want to know what stores you love, what you’d like improved, and what would make this experience even better. This is only the beginning, and there is much more to come.

As we continue building, our goal remains the same: create tools that make gifting easier, safer, and more rewarding for creators.
