Quickstart
Go live in five minutes:
- Sign up at forras.io/signup — Google, Apple, or email.
- Pick a handle like
forras.io/yourname. Lowercase, letters & numbers, 3–20 chars. - Add a product — native digital file or import from a connected store.
- Share your link in your bio. Sales settle in USDC or EURC on Base in minutes.
Pick your handle
Your handle becomes forras.io/{handle} and the canonical entry point for your storefront, newsletter, and checkout. Handles are unique across the platform and you can change yours once during the first 30 days.
Add your first product
From the dashboard, click Products → New product. You can:
- Upload a digital file (PDF, ZIP, MP4) for instant delivery after purchase.
- Import from a connected store — Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, Mercado Libre, and 5 more.
- Add a tip jar or pay-what-you-want product with a custom minimum.
Connected stores
Forras Link connects to nine commerce platforms across four regions. From Settings → Connected stores, OAuth into each store and we'll mirror your catalog to your Forras page. Inventory syncs every 15 minutes.
Supported platforms:
- Global: Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy
- Europe: PrestaShop, Shopware
- Latin America: Tiendanube, Mercado Libre, Hotmart
- India: InstaMojo
Hosted checkout
Forras-hosted checkout collects payment once for any mix of items in your cart — including items from multiple connected stores. The visitor sees one charge on their statement; Forras then routes per-merchant orders to each store's admin API and remits the rest.
The 5% routed-checkout fee applies to sales placed via Proxy or Hybrid platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Hotmart, PrestaShop, Shopware, InstaMojo). Deep-link platforms (Etsy, Mercado Libre, Tiendanube) finish at the merchant site and don't incur the routed fee.
Refunds
From Transactions → Order → Refund, issue full or partial refunds. Forras returns the platform fee proportionally and reverses the routed-merchant payout via the source platform's refund API. Refunds appear back on the customer's original payment method within 5–10 days.
Double opt-in
Every new subscriber gets a confirmation email. They have to click the link before we'll send anything else. The token rotates on every state change, so old confirmation links stop working — prevents replay attacks if the email leaks.
USDC + EURC payouts
Buyers pay locally — card via Stripe, USDC or EURC via Coinbase CDP. You settle into your own Coinbase wallet in minutes:
- USDC on Base — global creators, ~5 minutes settlement.
- EURC on Base — EU creators, zero FX from EUR buyers.
- Stripe Connect — fallback fiat payouts in 2 days.
Withdraw to a bank or self-custody wallet from Payouts → Withdraw.
EU VAT
Stripe Tax calculates and collects VAT automatically for every EU country. We export per-quarter VAT reports under Payouts → Tax → Export.
