Get paid for your work

Uploading a folder of deliverables and waiting for a separate invoice to get paid creates unnecessary friction, especially when the files are already in someone's hands. Paid transfers solve this by making payment part of the download itself — your folder stays inaccessible until the buyer completes checkout through Stripe. WeTransfer preserves your folder's original structure on delivery, so clients receive your files exactly as you organized them, with no compression, no renaming, and no quality loss regardless of what's inside. Buyers can preview supported file types directly in the browser before committing, giving them a clear sense of what they're purchasing without exposing the actual downloads. Paid transfers work on all WeTransfer plans from a desktop browser, with no platform fee taken by WeTransfer.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


When uploading from a desktop browser, add your folder to the transfer window, then look for the paid transfer option to set your price before sending. WeTransfer generates a single link that takes buyers straight to a Stripe checkout — the folder only becomes downloadable once payment is confirmed. The feature is available on all plans and works entirely from your browser with no extra software.


No. WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers, so the full amount your buyer pays goes directly to you through Stripe. Stripe's own standard processing fees apply, but nothing is deducted by WeTransfer on top of that.


Yes. WeTransfer uploads folders as-is and delivers them with the original folder structure preserved, so your buyers receive everything exactly as you arranged it. Files are never compressed or altered in quality, which matters when you're selling organized project packages, asset libraries, or layered working files.


Buyers can preview supported file types — including images, video, audio, and PDFs — directly in the browser before committing to a purchase. This gives them confidence in what they're buying without giving away the actual downloads, which stay locked behind the Stripe checkout until payment goes through.


No. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to pay for or download a transfer — they simply open the link, complete payment through Stripe, and the folder becomes available to download. Only the sender needs a WeTransfer account, and paid transfers are available on all plans.
