Quickstart
Go live in five minutes:
- Sign up at forras.io/signup — Google, Apple, or email.
- Pick a handle like
forras.io/yourname. Lowercase, letters & numbers, 3–20 chars. - Add a product — native digital file or import from a connected store.
- Share your link in your bio. Sales settle in USDC or EURC on Base in minutes.
Pick your handle
Your handle becomes forras.io/{handle} and the canonical entry point for your storefront, newsletter, and checkout. Handles are unique across the platform and you can change yours once during the first 30 days.
Add your first product
From the dashboard, click Products → New product. You can:
- Upload a digital file (PDF, ZIP, MP4) for instant delivery after purchase.
- Import from a connected store — Shopify, WooCommerce, Hotmart, PrestaShop, and 2 more.
- Add a tip jar or pay-what-you-want product with a custom minimum.
Connected stores
Forras Link connects to six commerce platforms across four regions. From Settings → Connected stores, OAuth into each store and we'll mirror your catalog to your Forras page. Inventory syncs every 15 minutes.
Supported platforms:
- Global: Shopify, WooCommerce
- Europe: PrestaShop, Shopware
- Latin America: Hotmart
- India: Instamojo
Hosted checkout
Forras-hosted checkout collects payment once for any mix of items in your cart — including items from multiple connected stores. The visitor sees one charge on their statement; Forras then routes per-merchant orders to each store's admin API and remits the rest.
The 5% routed-checkout fee applies to all six connected platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Hotmart, PrestaShop, Shopware, Instamojo). Forras places the order on your store via its admin API and remits the rest.
Share a pay link
Every Forras product has its own direct payment link. On your Products page, click the share icon on any product to copy its link, then send it to a customer by DM, email, or text. When they open it, that product's checkout opens straight away and they pay by card (or USDC) through Forras — no need to send them to your whole page. It's the fastest way to close a one-off sale or bill a specific buyer. The link uses your normal Forras checkout, so the same fee (5% Free / 2% Pro) and instant payout apply.
Refunds
From Transactions → Order → Refund, issue full or partial refunds. Forras returns the platform fee proportionally and reverses the routed-merchant payout via the source platform's refund API. Refunds appear back on the customer's original payment method within 5–10 days.
Double opt-in
Every new subscriber gets a confirmation email. They have to click the link before we'll send anything else. The token rotates on every state change, so old confirmation links stop working — prevents replay attacks if the email leaks.
USDC + EURC payouts
Buyers pay locally — card via Stripe, USDC via Coinbase. You settle into your own Coinbase wallet in minutes:
- USDC on Base — global creators, ~5 minutes settlement.
- EURC on Base — EU creators, zero FX from EUR buyers.
- Stripe Connect — fallback fiat payouts in 2 days.
Withdraw to a bank or self-custody wallet from Payouts → Withdraw.
New to crypto? Forras can set up a non-custodial wallet for you in one tap — no app, no seed phrase — and the keys stay yours to export anytime. Or connect a wallet you already have.
Want cash in the bank? Card sales go to your bank automatically via Stripe — US ACH, EUR to a SEPA account, and more by country. Your USDC / EURC is paid into your crypto wallet; to turn it into cash, move it to an exchange you control (like Coinbase) and cash out there.
EU VAT
Stripe Tax calculates and collects VAT automatically for every EU country. We export per-quarter VAT reports under Payouts → Tax → Export.
