Get paid before your content leaves your hands
Government organisations and NGOs regularly share reports, data sets, training materials, and policy documents that carry real value. WeTransfer lets you attach a price to any transfer so the files stay locked until the recipient pays through Stripe, with no fee taken by WeTransfer.
Get paid for your work
Public sector bodies and NGOs often distribute research, educational resources, or licensed content that funds ongoing programmes, and getting payment confirmed before files are accessed is essential. WeTransfer's paid transfers embed the checkout directly into the download, meaning your documents are completely unreachable until Stripe confirms the transaction. Formatted reports, spreadsheets, PDFs, presentation decks, audio files, and full folder archives are all delivered exactly as you uploaded them, with no compression and no changes to file structure or quality. Recipients can preview supported file formats in the browser before completing payment, which builds enough confidence to commit without exposing the actual source files. Paid transfers are available on all WeTransfer plans from a desktop browser, and every payment goes straight to you with no platform fee deducted.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
From a desktop browser, upload your files to WeTransfer as you normally would, then set a price on the transfer before sending. Recipients receive a link that takes them to a Stripe checkout, and the download only becomes available once their payment is confirmed. No special plan is required — paid transfers are available on all WeTransfer accounts.
No. WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers, so the full amount your organisation charges goes directly to you via Stripe. You will need a Stripe account to receive payments, and Stripe's own standard processing fees apply.
Any file type you can upload to WeTransfer can be included in a paid transfer, including PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentation decks, data archives, images, audio recordings, and video. Files are delivered exactly as uploaded, with no compression or quality changes, which matters when distributing licensed research or certified documentation.
Yes. Recipients can preview supported file formats, including PDFs, images, audio, and video, directly in the browser before completing payment. This gives them enough visibility to confirm the content meets their needs without accessing the actual source files.
No account is needed to pay for or download a transfer. Recipients simply open the link, complete the Stripe checkout, and the files become available immediately. This keeps the process straightforward for external stakeholders, partner organisations, or members of the public who may not use WeTransfer regularly.
