Get paid for your engineering files before they download

WeTransfer lets you attach a price to any transfer so technical drawings, simulation outputs, and engineering reports stay locked until payment goes through. Stripe processes the transaction, the download link unlocks automatically, and WeTransfer keeps no percentage of what you charge.

Get paid for your work

Engineering work has real monetary value, and sending files before payment is confirmed puts that value at risk. Paid transfers on WeTransfer embed the payment step inside the download itself, so your deliverables stay completely out of reach until the recipient pays through Stripe. CAD files, FEA results, technical PDFs, ZIP archives, 3D models, and specification documents all arrive exactly as you prepared them, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no changes to file structure or fidelity. Clients can preview supported formats directly in the browser before completing the purchase, giving them enough confidence to commit without accessing the actual source files. Paid transfers are available on all plans and run entirely from a desktop browser, with no platform fee from WeTransfer.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


From your desktop browser, upload your files in the transfer window and look for the option to set a price before clicking Transfer. Enter your amount, connect or use your existing Stripe account, and share the generated link with your client. The files stay locked until Stripe confirms payment, at which point the download link opens automatically.


No. WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers. Whatever price you set goes directly to you through Stripe. You may be subject to Stripe's standard payment processing fees, but nothing is deducted by WeTransfer.


You can sell virtually any file type, including CAD drawings, 3D and BIM models, FEA and simulation outputs, technical PDFs, specification documents, ZIP archives of full project packages, and Office documents like reports and spreadsheets. Files are delivered exactly as you packaged them, with no compression or quality loss.


Yes, for supported formats. Recipients can view images, PDFs, audio, and video in the browser before completing the purchase, which gives them enough confidence to pay without accessing the actual source files. For formats that do not support in-browser preview, the files remain inaccessible until payment clears.


No. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to pay for or download a transfer. They follow the link, complete checkout through Stripe, and the download becomes available immediately. Only the sender needs an account to create and send paid transfers.
