Charge for your content before it's downloaded
News and media professionals can put a price on any transfer, keeping raw footage, photo galleries, licensed articles, and production assets locked until the recipient pays. Stripe handles the checkout, the download link opens the moment payment clears, and WeTransfer takes no platform fee.
Get paid for your work
When you license editorial content, sell stock footage, or deliver commissioned work, getting paid upfront protects the work you've created. WeTransfer's paid transfers attach a payment step directly to the download, so your files stay completely out of reach until the buyer completes checkout through Stripe. Everything arrives exactly as you sent it, whether that's a 4K video file, a folder of high-resolution images, an audio package, a PDF, or a ZIP archive of raw assets, with no compression or quality loss. Recipients can preview supported formats like images, video, audio, and PDFs in the browser before paying, giving them enough confidence to commit without ever accessing the source files. Paid transfers are available on all WeTransfer plans from a desktop browser, and every payment goes directly to you.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When uploading from a desktop browser, you'll find the option to set a price on your transfer before sending it. Enter the amount you want to charge, and WeTransfer generates a payment-gated download link. The recipient sees a payment screen when they open the link, completes checkout through Stripe, and only then gets access to your files. No extra tools or third-party integrations are needed beyond a Stripe account.
No. WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers, so the full amount the recipient pays goes directly to you via Stripe. Standard Stripe processing fees set by Stripe still apply, but WeTransfer adds nothing on top of what you charge.
Yes. WeTransfer sends files in their original quality with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss, which makes it well suited for high-resolution editorial images, 4K video, broadcast-quality audio, and production file formats. You can also upload entire folders so the recipient receives your asset library with the original folder structure intact.
Supported file types, including images, video, audio, and PDFs, can be previewed in the browser. Recipients can look through a transfer before paying, which gives buyers enough visibility to confirm the content matches their brief without ever downloading the source files. Previews display at a slightly lower resolution than the original, so the actual assets remain protected until payment goes through.
No. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to complete payment or download the files. They open the link, pay through Stripe, and download directly from the browser. A free WeTransfer account is required on the sender's side to create and send a paid transfer.
