On FanPay Link, the fan sees a blurred preview before paying. The original unlocks after payment is confirmed. The homepage demonstration takes no real payment.

Help the fan understand the picture.

Use a description specific enough to make the offer clear. A fan should understand the subject, context and that the purchase covers one original picture. Do not rely on an unrecognizable blur to explain everything.

Check the description, preview and original together. They should refer to the same offer. If you replace the original or change the offer, review the preview and promotional text again rather than leaving an outdated promise in place.

Show the complete amount before payment.

Keep the listed price distinct from a separately added fan fee. In the selected agency example, a $10 picture leads to a $10.95 fan total before other excluded costs. The final amount should be understood before the fan confirms the purchase.

The checkout demo itemizes its $9.99 picture and $0.95 service fee, producing a $10.94 total under the selected fan rate. Use the demo to understand the sequence, not as evidence of a live payment being processed.

Treat previews as access control, not secrecy.

A blurred preview reduces what someone can see before paying. It does not prove that a buyer cannot capture or share what they access afterward. Do not sell a guarantee of anonymity, leak prevention or screenshot blocking unless that protection actually exists and its limits are clear.

Review identifying details in the original before choosing to sell it. Content selection and personal boundaries remain useful controls even when the original is behind a paid link.
