MintStars has launched "Custom Clips," a marketplace designed for custom content orders, following the earlier introduction of its Clipstore feature for direct-to-fan video sales. These new offerings aim to provide adult creators with additional revenue streams and greater control over their content distribution.
Custom Clips Marketplace Functionality
The "Custom Clips" marketplace, available at MintStars.com, allows users to post requests for custom content. These requests include details such as a description, budget, desired length, deadline, and category. Creators can browse these requests, express interest in specific jobs, or choose to pass on requests, removing them from their view. Users have the option to select an interested creator to complete a request at any time.
Once a creator accepts an offer, the user makes the payment. The creator then delivers the custom clip, which the buyer previews. Payment is released to the creator upon buyer approval. MintStars has indicated that creator custom content options will be available soon.
Creator profiles within the marketplace display ratings, review counts, completion rates, delivery times, and badges. This system allows users to make choices based on a creator's track record, while creators can build their reputation across various jobs. Corii, identified as head of support and a "fellow MintStars Baddie," stated that the system aims to simplify the industry, connecting fan requests with creators in a streamlined manner, and bringing back a simple and safe system.
Clipstore for Direct-to-Fan Sales
Prior to the Custom Clips launch, MintStars.com introduced its Clipstore on October 6, 2026. This feature enables adult creators to sell individual videos directly to fans without requiring a subscription. Creators can upload their clips, set their own prices, and receive earnings from each sale. A MintStars representative stated that the Clipstore operates on principles of fair pay, transparent fees, and creator control, consistent with the rest of the MintStars platform. Creators maintain control over what they sell, what they charge, and who views their content. Clip earnings are deposited into the same balance from which creators already withdraw funds.
The Clipstore offers creators an additional revenue stream on MintStars, complementing existing options such as subscriptions and tips. This allows creators to build income in a way that suits both them and their fans, and to reach fans who prefer to purchase single clips rather than subscribe. Community Manager Emily Parsons noted that this feature had been highly requested. Parsons also stated that the Clipstore, along with new chat features, has led some creators to use MintStars as their sole platform. The Clipstore is available to all MintStars creators, who can begin listing clips from their accounts.
Platform Operations and Creator Benefits
MintStars, described as a content and subscription platform for adult creators, allows creators to earn 100% of the price they set for their content and subscriptions. The platform charges fans approximately 10% of the total sale price to cover platform costs and payment processing. All payments on MintStars are processed with a cryptocurrency processor, which the platform states allows creators more creative freedom by not being held to the same standards as websites utilizing Visa/Mastercard processing. Users do not need cryptocurrency knowledge to use MintStars, as the platform handles the processing.
MintStars offers services including fanclubs, clips, tips, messaging, and content "trading." The platform supports creators of female, male, transgender, and non-binary genders, and does not implement geoblocking. There is no minimum payout, and payouts are available on demand and instantly with crypto, or in approximately 10 hours with bank transfer. Payout methods include ACH and cryptocurrency.
To get started on MintStars, individuals must be 18 years of age or older, possess a government-issued photo ID, and have a cell phone or computer with a webcam for ID and age verification. Access to a phone or computer is also required to upload content for sale. An application process is necessary to receive an invite code to create an account. The platform allows for multiple accounts, which can be used for various fetishes, niches, or markets.
