If you create content on the web whether it’s a blog, podcast, artwork, educational videos, or anything else you share online, this guide is for you.

Web Monetization is a new way to earn money online. Instead of relying only on ads or subscriptions, you can receive micropayments from supporters in real time as they view your content.

Chimoney supports this by giving you a wallet and wallet address that connects you to the Web Monetization ecosystem powered by Interledger.

Let’s walk you through how to get started step by step.

Step 1: Download the Chimoney App

  1. Download the Chimoney App from the Play Store or App Store.

  2. Sign up with your email address.

Step 2: Complete KYC Verification

To access your wallet and start receiving payments, you’ll need to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. This is a standard security step required for financial services.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Submit a government-issued ID.

  • Provide basic personal details (like your full name and country).

  • Wait for verification approval (usually within a day).

Once you’re verified, you’ll be able to fully access your Chimoney wallet.

Step 3: Get Your Wallet Address

After KYC approval, you can navigate to Account and click on Interledger wallet address, you will receive a Web Monetization wallet address that looks like this:

https://ilp.chimoney.com/username

This unique link is connected to your Chimoney wallet and is what you’ll add to your site.

Step 4: Add Web Monetization to Your Website

To start receiving Web Monetization payments, you need to add your wallet address to your site’s tag using this simple HTML code:

Once this is added, any visitor who has a Web Monetization extension can start sending you micropayments as they browse your content.

Don’t code? If you use platforms like Carrd, Ghost, or other site builders, they usually allow you to paste custom code into the site header. Ask your web admin or dev friend if needed.

Step 5: Withdraw Your Earnings

Chimoney supports local cashouts in over 100 countries.

To withdraw your funds:

  • Log in to the Chimoney App.

  • Go to your homepage dashboard.

  • Choose your preferred withdrawal method:

    • Direct Bank Cashout (available in Mexico, Canada, U.S., Nigeria)

    • Mobile Money Cashout (in supported regions)

    • Instant Transfer (SPEI IN Mexico, Interac e-transfer in Canada)

    • Send to Email or Phone Number for flexible cashout options in even more countries

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your transfer.

Tips to Make the Most of Web Monetization

  • Add your wallet address to all your platforms: Blog, portfolio, podcast website, YouTube description, or personal site.

  • Tell your audience: Let supporters know they can send you micropayments. Even a small note like “This site is Web Monetized. Thank you for your support!” helps.

  • Combine with other revenue streams: Web Monetization is a great complement to existing income from ads, subscriptions, or Patreon.
