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