I want to build a SnapSell-style web platform where creators can upload digital files, set a price, generate a paid access link, and buyers can unlock the content after a one-time payment. Important: For the first version, I only want a web app / responsive web platform. No native iOS or Android app is required for the MVP. The system should be built in a way that mobile apps can be added later. The goal is similar core functionality to SnapSell, but with a custom and more premium design. Do not copy SnapSell’s branding, logo, UI, or copyrighted assets. Core MVP Features: 1. Creator Account - Sign up / login - Basic creator profile - Password reset 2. Content Upload - Upload files such as videos, images, PDFs, ZIP files - Secure file storage - File preview / teaser mode - Creator can set a price for each file or file bundle 3. Paid Link / Paywall - Generate unique paid links - Buyer opens link - Buyer sees teaser / preview - Buyer pays once - After successful payment, content unlocks immediately - Buyer can access purchased content again after login 4. Payment - Stripe Checkout or Stripe Payment Element - One-time payments only - Stripe webhook handling - Payment status tracking - Test mode and live mode setup 5. Secure Access - Files must not be publicly accessible - Use token-based access or signed URLs - Purchased files must stay available to the buyer account - Basic protection against link sharing 6. Admin Dashboard - Upload/create content - Set price - Manage users - Manage content - View payments - View sales analytics - Disable content or users if needed 7. Creator Dashboard - View uploaded files - View paid links - View sales - View earnings 8. Affiliate / Partner Program — Optional Separate Quote - Referral links - Track referred users - Commission only after successful payment - Admin can set commission percentage - Partner can view earned commissions MLM is not required for the MVP. Please structure the system so a simple multi-level commission system can be added later, but do not include full MLM in the first version unless quoted separately. Technical Requirements: - Responsive web app - Clean modern design - Secure backend API - Stripe webhooks - Database - Secure file storage - Deployment guide - Source code delivery - GitHub repository access - Environment setup documentation - 14–30 days bug fixing after delivery Preferred Stack: You may recommend the best stack, but please explain your choice. Possible stacks: - Next.js + Node.js/NestJS + PostgreSQL - Laravel + Vue/React + MySQL/PostgreSQL - Django + React + PostgreSQL Please answer in your proposal: 1. Have you built a paywall, paid content, marketplace, or creator monetization platform before? 2. Which tech stack would you use and why? 3. How would you secure uploaded files? 4. How would you handle Stripe webhooks? 5. What is included in your price? 6. What is not included? 7. How long will the MVP take? 8. How much extra for the affiliate/partner program? 9. Will I receive full source code and deployment access? 10. Do you provide post-launch bug fixing?
