Gethly

Introduction to Gethly

Gethly is a hosting and sales platform for digital content creators. It enables creators to sell digital goods, offer paid memberships, accept donations, and build member-only communities with forums and group chat. Supported content types include articles, videos, music, courses, and downloadable files.

Gethly can also function as a payment gateway for self-hosted content, allowing creators to keep content on their own infrastructure while using Gethly to handle transactions and access. It is suitable for individual creators and teams across disciplines such as writing, podcasting, visual arts, music, programming, and education, as well as audiences who want to discover and purchase digital content.

How Gethly Works

Creators set up channels to organize content by topic or project. Within each channel, they can configure multiple membership tiers, set prices, and determine whether content is sold as a one-time purchase or through recurring subscriptions. Content can be uploaded directly or embedded from other platforms, and announcements can be used to share updates with the public and members.

Community features allow creators to run private forums and group chats accessible to paying members. Donations can be enabled to receive voluntary support, and messages from donors can be collected alongside the contribution. Team workflows are supported through personnel accounts with defined permissions for managing channels and content.

Gethly processes payments and delivers access to digital content. Files are protected using AES-256 encryption. For creators who host content elsewhere, Gethly can act as the payment gateway, enabling them to manage sales and access without migrating their data.
