What is LinkVault?
LinkVault helps you share digital work safely. Send protected previews to clients, control access, and unlock the final files automatically after they pay via Stripe.
LinkVault at a glance
- What it isA secure delivery platform that connects file sharing directly with Stripe payments.
- Who it's forFreelancers, design agencies, studios, and creators who need to show their work before getting paid.
- How it worksYou upload your file and send a watermarked, view-only link. The client views the work and pays via Stripe to unlock and download the original file.
The Core Concept
The Old Way
You finish a project and share a cloud drive link. The client downloads the final file, goes quiet, and delays paying the invoice. You lose leverage as soon as you share the file.
The LinkVault Way
The client receives a secure link where they can preview the work in the browser. To download the original file, they need to complete payment first.
Who uses LinkVault?
Built for professionals who create digital value and want a safer way to deliver it.
Agencies & Freelancers
Share proposals, branding concepts, and final deliverables. Ensure your invoice is paid before handing over the final, un-watermarked source files.
Studios
Send out batches of high-quality assets to clients for review. Keep files safe behind view-only permissions until the project is officially approved and settled.
Digital Creators
Sell ebooks, templates, or tracks directly through preview links that automatically convert into downloadable files after a successful Stripe checkout.
