Subscriptions are always on in Kollekt. There’s nothing to enable. Fans can subscribe to your community from day one, and your earnings start accruing from the first sale. This article explains what subscribers get and how revenue flows through the app.

What subscribers get

Most of the subscriber value is built into the platform. You don’t have to keep creating extra content to justify the price — the perks are baked in.
  • Highlighted names in Chat. Subscribers stand out.
  • Image and video in Chat. Subscribers can share media, others can’t.
  • Subscriber badges. Visible markers of support.
  • Subscriber-only Direct Line posts. Lock a post and only paying fans see it. See Post subscriber-only content.
  • Subscriber-only chat room. A separate space for the people who stepped up.
The conversion happens organically. A fan in Chat sees subscribers with highlighted names. A fan on Direct Line sees a locked post they can’t read. The platform creates the pull — you just have to keep showing up.

How revenue flows

  1. A fan subscribes. They’re charged monthly through the app.
  2. Earnings accrue to your community. You don’t need a payout account set up for this to happen — revenue is tracked regardless.
  3. You split revenue across your team (optional). If you’ve added team members, each takes their share. See Add team members and split revenue.
  4. You withdraw when you’re ready. Connect your payout account any time — earnings held until then. See Connect your payout account.

When to lean into subscriptions

Not on day one. The platform supports subscribers from the start, but the rule of thumb: wait until your Chat is active on its own — fans talking to each other without you having to seed every thread — and your Direct Line has a cadence. At that point subscriber perks feel natural, not a sales pitch. And when you’re ready to push it:
