Sharing a great link shouldn't mean giving away your work for free. With LinkGate you can put a price on any destination — a course, a file, a community invite — and collect payment before a visitor ever reaches it.
Why charge for a link?
Ad networks pay pennies and demand huge traffic. Direct payments flip that model: your audience pays you, you keep 90% of every unlock, and there's no tracking middleman in between.
- No subscription and nothing upfront
- Instant payouts through Stripe
- Works with any URL you can link to
Set your first paid link
- Paste the destination URL you want to protect.
- Choose an unlock price between $0.50 and $999.
- Share the LinkGate short link anywhere.
When someone pays, they're redirected to your destination and the money lands in your Stripe account immediately.
What can you sell?
Anything behind a URL: digital downloads, gated Notion docs, private Discord invites, or a premium landing page. If you can link to it, you can charge for it.
The best monetization is the one your audience never has to think about — one click, one payment, done.
