Will my content remain safe? What if the press use my pic and do not pay me?
The Press can only download and use your photo, video, scan or story after they have purchased the content and not before.
All content, be it a photo or video, that is posted on the App and then published on the marketplace, is protected by our PRESSHOP watermark which ensures security and safety of your content.

We charge 20% commission + applicable processing charges from all proceeds that the Hoppers make on our platform.

The Marketplace is completely free for digital, tabloid, and TV Press. We do not charge any fee or commission from our registered Publications.
