Solace
Creator monetisation platform that lets independent publishers sell memberships, courses, and digital products.
The challenge
Independent creators — writers, educators, and niche experts — were leaving significant revenue on the table because existing platforms took large cuts, lacked flexibility in product types, and buried creators in algorithmic feeds they had no control over. Building a custom storefront was out of reach for most without a development team.
Our approach
We built a self-serve platform where creators own their audience, their pricing, and their brand. A single dashboard lets them create membership tiers, upload course content, and sell digital downloads — all under their own domain. Payouts go directly to the creator via Stripe Connect with zero platform delay. The storefront builder requires no code and ships with sensible defaults that still feel custom.
What we built
- No-code storefront builder with custom domain support
- Membership tiers with gated content and community access
- Course builder with drip-release scheduling
- Direct creator payouts via Stripe Connect
- Audience CRM with segmentation and email broadcasts
Outcome
Within six months of launch, creators on Solace were earning an average of three times what they had made through their previous monetisation channels. The platform processed over $1.2 million in creator payouts in its first year.
