Calisto Direct

Fans pay for your name.

Subscriptions, one-off sales, pay-per-view and ticketed streams, on a page that carries your name and through the payment provider you already use. The money reaches your bank first. Calisto bills you afterwards.

The Money Reaches Your Bank First.

Your gateway. Your bank. Calisto bills you afterwards.

A platform that collects the money owes you a payout before you have it. Here your own payment provider charges the subscriber and the money settles into your own bank on your provider’s schedule. Calisto invoices its 12% afterwards, as a separate charge, never deducted on the way through.

Creator

Put your name on it and open the doors.

Four things set how you show up, and together they produce a public page with a shareable URL where subscribers land.

Name, bio, avatar and links. The identity behind the content.

This is what a visitor reads first, so it is the part you write rather than configure.

One account can run several creator pages, each with its own name, bio and URL.

A label, an agency or a manager switches between them without a second login or a second subscription.

Layout, colours and branding for the public page, and a design editor for profile images, post artwork and promotional assets.

It is the same editor as the rest of Calisto Create, so nothing you make here is trapped in Direct.

Publish websites and mobile apps under your own name, assembled from blocks in the builder.

Each one reads the same content, subscribers and payments as the creator page. One audience, several front doors.

Your Audience

Your subscribers. Your messages. Your list.

The list exports at any time, and if you leave, the list and the history leave with you.

Subscribers

Who is subscribed, and since when.

Every paying subscriber with their tier, status and join date, and a detail view of what they have accessed. Export the whole list whenever you want it.

Messages

Talk to one of them, or all of them.

Direct messaging with subscribers in one-on-one threads, and broadcast messages to your entire audience or a single segment of it.

Lists

Segment the audience you already have.

Group subscribers into lists — VIPs, new arrivals, a specific tier — then send a message or a broadcast to that group rather than to everybody.

The creator builds the content and the audience. Monetization decides how they pay and what they pay for.

Five ways to be paid for what you make.

A recurring membership, a one-off purchase, a single piece unlocked behind a payment, a tip, and a storefront you can embed. All settling into your own bank.

Monetization

Five ways to charge, and the provider stays yours.

You set the price. Your own gateway takes the payment.

Subscription Tiers

Recurring memberships. Name each tier, price it, describe what it opens, and drag to reorder. Subscribers pick one and pay monthly.

Basic · $5/moPro · $15/moVIP · $50/mo

Content Store

An embeddable storefront for your digital products. Put it on your own site or share the link.

Digital Products

One-off purchases. Files, downloads and digital assets sold individually, each with its own listing and price.

Locked Content

Pay-per-view. Gate a post or a media file behind a one-time payment. Subscribers see the preview, then pay to unlock.

Tips

Money sent because they wanted to, on the page or during a stream, on top of whatever they already pay.

Set the price, then watch what it did.

The pricing decision and its result sit on the same row: every tier carries its subscriber count, every product and unlock its sales.

A monthly and an annual price, an optional subscriber cap, and the count currently on each tier.

Community Q&A
Jun 25, 3:00 PM, Open

Broadcast video or audio from a control room that manages the stream, the chat and the recording.

One form sets the title, the start time and who gets in: free, subscribers only, or ticket holders. Your audience sees it before it happens.

Set a ticket price and entry is gated behind the purchase, with free-preview minutes if you want them.

Subscribers send money mid-broadcast, so a stream earns while it runs rather than only afterwards.

Your Money

Fifty-plus payment providers, and you pick the one.

What came in, what is clearing, and what has already gone out.

Balance & Payouts

Available, pending, and everything you have earned.

Every payout you have requested, the method it went out by and the date it cleared. Denominated per row: take money through a Dominican gateway and a European one and you are paid in both, with nothing converted to make a tidier column.

Revenue

What the audience is worth this month.

Recurring revenue, gross settled, tips and platform fees, plotted over time and broken down by tier, so a tier that is not paying for itself shows up as a line rather than a hunch. Downloadable statements and an engagement heatmap sit beside it.

Payments

Connect the provider you already use.

More than fifty supported gateways, across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia and North America. You pick the processor, and it charges your subscribers directly.

Verify who you are, then get paid.

Identity verified before a payout runs, and a review queue for anything a viewer reports, so an account taking money has somebody behind it.

Compliance

Prove who you are before money moves out.

An account that takes money from an audience carries obligations, and the tooling for them is here.

Honest answers

Frequently asked questions

Twelve percent of Direct revenue: subscriptions, one-off purchases, pay-per-view and tips. It is billed to you afterwards as a separate charge, not deducted on the way through, because the money never passes through an account Calisto controls.

Your own gateway. You connect a provider from more than fifty supported ones and it charges the subscriber directly, so the funds settle into your bank on your provider’s schedule rather than waiting on a platform payout run.

Yes. A subscriber is a contact record in your own database, with the tier and join date on top of it, and the list exports at any time. If you leave, the list and the history leave with you.

Yes. The creator page, the sites and the mobile apps all publish under your own name and domain, assembled from blocks in the builder, and every one of them reads the same content, subscribers and payments. One account can run several artist pages this way, each with its own name, bio and URL.

Identity, during onboarding, with the status visible while it runs. A payout goes to somebody who has been checked. Anything a viewer reports lands in a queue you work through, and access rules let you decide which regions can reach a given piece.
