Project Description
Project Title:
Build a Multilingual SnapSell-Style Paid Media Link Platform for Web, iOS and Android
Project Description:
I want to build a premium SnapSell-style paid media link platform where creators can upload digital content, set a price in EUR, generate a paid access link, share it, and buyers can unlock the content after a one-time payment.
Platforms:
- Web
- iOS
- Android
Languages:
- German and English must be included in the MVP.
- The system must be built with a multilingual structure so more languages can be added later without rebuilding the platform.
Important:
This is not a full course platform, not a complex marketplace, and not an MLM platform in the MVP.
Core flow:
Creator uploads media → sets price in EUR → creates paid link → shares/copies link → buyer opens link in browser → buyer pays → payment is confirmed → content unlocks securely → buyer can access purchased content again later.
SnapSell is only a functional reference. Do not copy SnapSell’s branding, logo, green design, UI, or assets. I want a custom premium design.
Design direction:
- black / white / deep red / soft gold
- modern premium look
- clean luxury style
- strong typography
- mobile-first UI
- not crypto/casino style
- better looking than SnapSell
I will provide visual mockups/screenshots for the desired direction.
Core Roles:
- Creator
- Buyer
- Admin
Creator Features:
- register/login
- upload images, videos, PDFs, ZIP/files
- create collections/bundles
- set price in EUR
- create paid links
- copy/share paid links
- QR code for links if possible
- manage uploads and collections
- view links, sales, and earnings
- profile/settings
- German/English language switch
Important:
Mobile creator features are required. Creators should be able to upload media, set price, create paid links, and share links from iOS and Android.
Buyer Features:
- open paid link in browser
- see teaser/preview before payment
- pay for content
- unlock content after payment
- register/login
- access purchased content again later
- buyer library / purchased content
- access purchased content on web and mobile
- German/English language switch
Content Upload:
Supported file types:
- images
- videos
- PDFs
- ZIP/files
- other digital files if reasonable
Files must be stored securely using private storage, preferably AWS S3 or similar.
Paid Link / Paywall:
Creators should be able to upload media, set price, create paid links, share/copy links, add content to collections, and preview created links.
The buyer paywall page should show:
- teaser / blurred preview
- content title
- price in EUR
- payment button
- trust/security note
- unlock after payment
Payments:
Preferred MVP payment flow:
Creator creates paid link → buyer opens link in browser → buyer pays through browser checkout → webhook confirms payment → content unlocks.
Stripe is preferred for browser/web checkout.
Payment methods should ideally include where supported:
- card
- Klarna
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- TWINT
- Stripe Checkout methods
Optional:
I am also interested in crypto payments if this can be implemented safely and legally.
Possible crypto options:
- BTC
- ETH
- USDT / stablecoins
- third-party crypto payment provider
Please quote crypto payments separately if they increase complexity.
Important:
I do not want a risky in-app payment implementation that could cause App Store or Google Play rejection. For iOS and Android, please explain your recommended compliant payment approach.
The mobile apps may primarily work as creator/access/viewer apps, while purchases happen through browser-based checkout if this is the safest compliant approach.
Protected Content Access:
Paid files must not be publicly accessible.
The system should use:
- private storage
- signed URLs or token-based access
- purchase validation before access
- short-lived access URLs
- logged-in buyer access
- buyer re-access after login
Advanced DRM and advanced streaming/CDN can be future phases.
Collections / Bundles:
Creators should be able to:
- create a collection
- add multiple media/files
- create one paid link for the collection
- share collection link
- allow buyers to unlock the collection after payment
Basic Affiliate / Referral Program:
A basic affiliate/referral program must be included in the MVP.
This should be simple and not MLM.
Affiliate features:
- user gets referral code
- user gets referral link
- referred users are tracked
- fixed commission percentage
- admin can set/change commission percentage
- affiliate can see referrals and earned commission
- admin can see affiliate earnings
- admin can manually mark commissions as paid
No multi-level commissions in the MVP.
Admin Panel:
The admin panel should include:
- overview dashboard
- total revenue
- active creators
- buyers
- active paid links
- successful payments
- manage users/creators/buyers
- manage uploaded content and collections
- content moderation
- manage payments/transactions
- basic sales analytics
- manage affiliate/referral program
- manage support requests
- platform settings
- language/multilingual settings if needed
Creator Dashboard:
- uploads
- collections
- paid links
- sales
- earnings
- affiliate/referral area
- profile/settings
- language switch
Buyer Library:
- purchased content
- purchased collections
- access/download/view buttons
- purchase history
- account settings
- language switch
Mobile Apps:
The project should include:
- iOS app
- Android app
Preferred framework:
- Flutter preferred
- React Native acceptable if you explain why
Mobile apps should use the same backend API as the web platform.
Mobile apps should include:
- login/register

- collections
