24 questions. One place to start.
Getting started
What is FanLine, and how can creators earn?
FanLine helps creators turn their audience into personal, paid connections. Fans can call you or pay to unlock your video and text replies. You choose your rates and when you are available, then share your profile with the people who already follow you.
Link to this answerWho can become a creator?
You must be at least 18 to use creator monetization features, meet the account and payout requirements, and follow FanLine’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. Fans must be at least 16; those aged 16 or 17 need permission from a parent or legal guardian.
Link to this answerDoes FanLine charge a signup fee or monthly subscription?
There is no signup fee or monthly subscription to join FanLine as a creator. FanLine earns a share when you complete eligible paid interactions. Fans pay for the paid calls and replies they choose; creating an account does not start a subscription.
Link to this answerRates & earnings
Can I set and change my own rates?
Yes. Creators set their call and paid-reply rates in the app and can adjust them as their audience grows. Fans can see the applicable price before starting a paid interaction. Review your current rates in your creator settings before sharing your profile.
Link to this answerCan I offer free calls or replies?
Yes. Creators can choose to send a reply for free, and can start a free call from a fan’s profile when the app offers that option outside a scheduled booking. Paid calls and locked replies use your configured rates. Free interactions do not generate creator earnings; check the app’s confirmation before sending a reply or starting a call.

When does a paid call start billing?
Billing starts after the call has a stable connection. Connected time is billed in whole minutes, rounded down, with a minimum of one minute for a billable call. For example, a connected call lasting 2 minutes and 45 seconds is billed as 2 minutes at the creator’s applicable per-minute rate. An unanswered call is not charged.
Link to this answerHow do paid video and text replies work?
Fans can send a message, and a creator can respond with a paid video or text reply. The fan pays to unlock the reply, with the unlock price shown in the app. A text reply costs 50% of the creator’s video-reply price. Sending a message does not itself unlock a paid reply.
Link to this answerDo I need to be online at the same time as my fans?
Only live calls require both people to be available at the same time. Messages let fans reach out and creators reply later, so you can respond around your own schedule. A message does not guarantee an immediate reply; check the app for the status of each conversation.
Link to this answerHow do availability and scheduled bookings work?
Use your creator availability settings to show when you can take calls. Fans can also request a scheduled booking, which needs the creator’s confirmation. A booking temporarily reserves an amount equal to 3 minutes at the creator’s per-minute rate from the fan’s wallet while confirmation is pending. That reservation is a hold, and final call billing depends on the completed paid call.
Link to this answerPayouts & referrals
What do I need to cash out my creator earnings?
You need at least $50 USD in available creator earnings and a connected Stripe payout account with the required identity and account verification completed. Pending or held amounts are not available to cash out. Check your earnings and payout setup in the app before requesting a payout.
Link to this answerHow long do creator payouts take?
Payouts are processed through Stripe after the applicable checks and processing steps. Timing can vary with account verification, review, the payout method, and your bank. FanLine does not guarantee an arrival date. Check the payout status in the app and contact support if you need help with a specific payout.
Link to this answerWhat does “10% for life” mean for creator referrals?
When you refer a creator through the eligible referral program, you can earn 10% of that creator’s eligible earnings for life while they continue earning under the program’s terms. This applies to ongoing qualifying activity from an eligible referred creator; it is not a guaranteed payment or a share of every type of transaction. Use your referral link and review the program terms.
Link to this answerFor fans
How can I find and contact a creator?
Browse creators on FanLine or open a creator’s shared profile link. In the app, review their profile, rates, and availability, then choose an available call, message, or booking option. Each creator manages their own availability, so not every option will be available at all times.
Link to this answerHow do wallet funds and reservations work?
Add funds to your fan wallet using the payment options available in the app. Funds can be reserved for an interaction, such as a scheduled call, so the amount is available when needed. A reservation temporarily reduces your available balance; it is not the same as a completed charge. Review the price and reservation details before confirming.
Link to this answerWhat if a call is unanswered or a booking is cancelled?
An unanswered call is not charged, and its reserved funds are released. If a booking is cancelled without a completed paid call, the associated reservation is released. If a paid call did take place, the completed billable call remains subject to the call-billing rules. Contact support if a charge or reservation does not look right.
Link to this answerCan I request a refund of unused wallet funds?
You can request a refund of unused wallet funds when the eligible unused balance is at least $10 USD. Refunds are subject to review and applicable proportionate payment-processing fee deductions, and approved refunds go to the original payment method. This is separate from disputing a completed interaction. Contact support with the relevant payment details to request a review.
