Generating Payment Links
Payment links are the core of how Crush works. Each link is tied to a specific amount and tracks its own conversion data. You can create as many as you need.
Create a link
In your dashboard, click "New Link". Set the amount in USD, add a label for your own tracking (e.g. "DM tip $25"), and save.
Share it
Copy the link and drop it wherever you communicate with fans — DMs, bio, Telegram, email. It works on any platform.
Fan pays
The fan lands on your branded payment page, picks a cryptocurrency, sends from their wallet. Done in under 60 seconds.
Supported Currencies
Fans pay with any of the 20+ supported cryptocurrencies. You always receive the USD equivalent in your chosen payout currency.
Your Dashboard
Transaction History
Every payment you've received, timestamped and labeled by the link it came through. Filter by date range or link.
Link Analytics
See how many times each link was clicked and how many converted to completed payments. Tells you what's working.
Earnings Summary
Daily, weekly, and monthly totals in USD equivalent. Updates in real time as payments come in.
Payout History
A complete record of every payout you've requested, including transaction confirmations and timestamps.
Payouts
Your earnings are yours. There are no holds, no pending periods, and no platform deciding when you can access your money. Request a payout any time you're above the minimum threshold.

For Your Fans
The most common concern creators have is that their fans don't know how to use crypto. In practice, a significant portion of any creator's audience already holds crypto and is looking for a reason to spend it. For fans who are new, the learning curve is about 10 minutes.
Crush provides a step-by-step fan guide at /guide that you can share directly. It walks anyone through buying crypto and making their first payment. Share it in your bio, pin it, or drop it in DMs when a fan asks how to pay.

Tip: Creators who offer a small bonus (an extra image, extended content) to fans on their first crypto payment see significantly higher adoption. Get them over the initial learning curve once and they tend to become your most loyal spenders.
FAQ
Do fans need a Crush account?
No. Fans only need a cryptocurrency wallet. They click your payment link, pick their coin, and pay directly from their wallet. No signup, no account, no email required.
Is there a monthly fee?
No monthly fee. Crush charges 3% per transaction, deducted at settlement. No subscription fees, no setup fees, no withdrawal fees.
What happens if a fan sends the wrong amount?
Partial payments are automatically detected and the fan is prompted to send the remaining balance. Overpayments trigger a credit to your account.
Can payments be reversed or charged back?
No. Crypto transactions are final. Unlike credit card payments, there is no chargeback mechanism. When a fan pays, that payment is permanent.
How long does payment confirmation take?
Most payments confirm on-chain within 30–60 seconds depending on the network. You see it in your dashboard in real time.
Can I run Crush alongside my existing platforms?
Yes. Many creators use Crush for direct fan payments while keeping their existing platform for subscription content. There's no exclusivity requirement.
