Clip Stores: Video Sold One Clip at a Time, Found by Category

A clip store is a marketplace where you open a store and sell individual videos, usually keeping 60% of each sale, with buyers finding your clips through categories and search rather than your own following. The oldest store has run since 2003.

This is for adults. If you are under 18, do not sell images of yourself anywhere.

Who is a clip store for?

It is for someone who prefers making video to taking photos, who can produce it steadily, and who wants a catalogue that earns on its own rather than a following that has to be fed.

The trade is different from the other categories on this site. A dedicated feet marketplace charges a plan fee for access to buyers. A subscription platform charges nothing and gives you nothing to find you with. A clip store takes a larger share of each sale than either and in return runs the discovery itself, so that a clip posted a year ago can be bought today by someone who searched a category you tagged it with.

It suits a creator who treats this as production: regular uploads, consistent tagging, and the paperwork that comes with video of people. It suits a creator with no audience better than a subscription platform does, because the store’s search is the audience. It suits video, because that is all it sells; a store expects clips, and photos are a sideline at best.

How do buyers find your clips?

Through the store’s categories, keyword search, top lists and deals, which the stores describe in their own words and which creators consistently say matter more than a following.

Clips4Sale describes four ways for customers to search the site, and its performer-tagging feature, introduced in 2025, makes a stage name searchable site-wide with autocomplete. It runs a traffic program, a mailing program and a pricing program that automatically discounts clips over two years old by half and moves them into a deals carousel, which is the clearest statement anywhere that old clips are expected to keep selling. It also launched a subscription streaming tier in September 2026 that pools revenue by watch time, while per-clip sales continue. iWantClips organizes by category and keyword, publishes top-100 lists of categories and items as research tools for its own creators, and lets stores use discount codes and vanity domains. ManyVids feeds its categories into creator tag pages and a monthly top-earners contest. Every store runs a referral program paying creators for recruiting other creators.

Feet are a long-standing category here. Clips4Sale’s founder ran a feet-specific clip site before building the broader brand, and trade press reported a new foot-focused store launching on the platform in August 2026. What no store publishes is a size for the category, a buyer count or a sales share, so the claim that this is an established home for feet content rests on history and current listings, not on data. The visitor figure on Clips4Sale’s own creator pages is a platform claim with no basis stated.

What do you keep, and when are you paid?

60% of a standard clip sale on each of the three largest stores, more on tips and custom work, paid monthly or weekly once you pass a minimum that rises outside the United States.

Clips4Sale pays creators 60% on clip sales and 80% on tips, and 80% on custom clips ordered through its system. iWantClips pays 60% on clips and store content, 80% on tips and tributes, 70% on pay-to-view messaging and 85% on video calls; on custom clips ordered through its separate custom service, the creator keeps the full price set and the buyer pays a fee on top. ManyVids pays 60% on videos, 80% on store items, custom videos and tips, and 60% on its fan club subscriptions. APClips states a 75% creator share on its homepage. LoyalFans is widely described as 80% across its products, including its video store, but its own pages could not be read during this check and that figure is unconfirmed.

The cadence and minimums differ by store. Clips4Sale pays once a month, on the 7th for the previous month, by check, bank transfer, wire, SEPA, a third-party wallet or crypto, with payouts starting at $50 for US stores, $100 for Canada and $150 for international stores, and wire fees of $20 to $45. iWantClips offers bi-monthly, monthly and, for US stores, daily payouts, with a $50 minimum for the scheduled options, $25 for daily, and a 5% reduction in share for the faster methods; daily earnings are held for a week and large first-month payouts may be held longer. ManyVids moved to weekly payouts in September 2024, paid the Wednesday after each weekly period closes, with a $50 minimum and small per-method fees; an older help page still describes twice-monthly payouts, so its own pages conflict. None of the stores publishes a setup or listing fee, and Clips4Sale states there is none.

The 60% figure is the one to sit with. It is the lowest creator share of any category on this site, it is uniform across the three largest stores, and on at least one of them it is lower than it was: creators petitioned in 2019 over a cut from 70% to 60%, and the petition’s own text called 60% the industry standard. Refunds and chargebacks come out of your share on every store, with iWantClips covering chargebacks for a creator to a monthly ceiling as long as the creator’s claim rate stays low, and Clips4Sale offering forgiveness case by case.

Formats, lengths, prices and custom clips

Standard video formats with no published minimum length, a published price floor and cap on one store only, and a structured custom-clip process on two of them.

Clips4Sale accepts clips in several format and resolution variants and prohibits splitting a clip into pieces purely to post more often. iWantClips accepts common video formats to a three-gigabyte limit and converts them. Neither publishes a minimum length. ManyVids is the only store that publishes a floor and cap for standard clips, with its two help pages giving different floors, $1.99 and $3.99, against a $999.99 cap. iWantClips publishes a guideline rather than a rule, a dollar per minute plus 99 cents, and tells its creators that its most successful clips sit at one price point. Clips4Sale publishes limits only for custom clips.

Custom clips are where the share rises and the process tightens. Clips4Sale’s custom system runs on a menu: a per-minute base price set by the creator, lengths from five to 120 minutes in five-minute blocks, a default four-week delivery window, and compliance review of the request before production and of the clip after. iWantClips’ custom service lets the creator keep the full price while the buyer pays a convenience fee. A custom request is also where buyers push boundaries, so the review step is a protection, not only a rule.

Verification, releases and record-keeping

Your own ID and a face scan to open the store, and ID plus a signed, dated consent release for every person who appears in every clip, kept by you and checked by the store before anything publishes.

This is the heaviest paperwork of any category on this site, and it comes from the card networks and from federal law. Clips4Sale requires the store owner to upload photo ID and complete a face scan, holds clips in compliance review until the owner is verified, and requires a performer profile with government ID for anyone who appears, including the owner. Its record-keeping guide tells store owners they are fully responsible for consent forms and IDs, that a single standing release across multiple shoots does not meet the requirement, and that releases must be signed and dated for each date content was produced. ManyVids requires a scan of the creator’s ID, a co-performer release for each other person, declared per video, and produces them to the store on request. iWantClips requires government ID at sign-up for age verification.

Behind the store rules sits 18 U.S. Code section 2257 (opens in a new tab), which requires a producer of sexually explicit depictions to keep individually identifiable records for every performer, to label the content with the custodian of those records, and to make them available for inspection. Non-explicit feet content does not generally meet the law’s trigger of actual sexually explicit conduct, but the stores apply their own ID and consent rules to every clip regardless, because their card processors require verified uploaders and documented consent for everything on the site. This is general information, not legal advice; if you plan to film anyone other than yourself, read the store’s record-keeping page and consider asking a lawyer what applies to you.

Chargebacks, compliance review and what happens to a flagged store

Chargebacks are deducted, every clip is reviewed before it publishes, and a store can be restricted or closed under an appeals process that says nothing about the balance inside it.

Clips4Sale states that its content rules exist to keep it compliant with its credit card processors, which is the plain truth of the category. Mastercard’s rules for adult merchants, effective October 15, 2021, require verified uploaders, documented consent, review before publication and a complaints process, and the stores rebuilt their intake to meet them; at the time, legacy clips went into review and some stores fell below the minimum active-clip count to stay open. The requirements have tightened since, and a store that is still operating in 2026 is one that keeps up with them.

If a store is flagged, Clips4Sale’s appeals policy, dated January 24, 2025, gives six months to appeal, promises human review, and disclaims liability for any interruption to your store; it does not say what happens to an unpaid balance. iWantClips reserves the right to hold large first-month payouts. No store publishes what becomes of a balance when a store is closed for a violation. Few platforms in any category do: among the feet marketplaces Sole Brief records, only Feet Club and OnlyFeet publish a deadline for paying out after an account ends, and FeetFinder’s terms let it treat held earnings as forfeited after a violation. That is the reason to withdraw on schedule rather than let a balance build. Leaks and re-uploads are treated as expected: the stores publish watermarking and takedown guidance, and what to do when it happens is in if it goes wrong: scammed, leaked or threatened.

Clip store or subscription platform?

A clip store finds buyers for you and keeps 40%; a subscription platform keeps 20% and finds nobody; many creators eventually run both, with the store feeding the page.

The decision turns on what you have. With no audience and a steady output of video, a store’s search is worth its cut, and the catalogue keeps working between uploads. With an audience you built elsewhere, a subscription page captures recurring money from it at half the cut, and the clips become the content you post there. Creators describing the two in public tend to say the store is the slow, durable earner and the subscription is the one that needs daily attention; those are anecdotes, but they match how the fees are built. Neither is a step up from the other, and one store, run with care, is a complete way to do this.
