purchase.new is deprecated. Use creator.payment.succeeded instead (source is post, message, or media). This event continues to fire during the migration window; new integrations should use the creator.* event.

When this fires

Triggered (purchase.new) when a user buys a paid item from a creator. An “item” is one of:
  • a paid post — the payload carries postUuid
  • a locked (PPV) message — the payload carries routeUuid
  • a checkout-link product — neither postUuid nor routeUuid is present
Amounts are in minor units (for USD, cents).
On-platform refunds and disputes are delivered by the creator.refund.created / creator.dispute.* events; checkout-link payments use checkout_link.refund.created.

Payload

  • postUuid: UUID of the purchased post/content (included if the purchase was for a post)
  • routeUuid: UUID of the purchased message (included if the purchase was for a message)
  • price: Purchase amount in minor units
  • recipientUuid: UUID of the creator who received the purchase
  • sender: The user who purchased (uuid, handle, displayName, avatarUrl)
  • trackingLinkId: Tracking link attributed to the purchaser, if one is set (omitted otherwise)
  • transactionOrderId: The Fanvue transaction/order identifier for this payment, matching the transactionOrderId on /insights/earnings. Lets you reconcile the event against earnings without a second call. Included when the payment has settled; omitted otherwise.
  • transactionOrderStatus: Payout state of the transaction at the time of the event — availableForPayout (cleared) or pendingBalance (still in the chargeback/fraud retention window). This is a snapshot at event time and may change as the payment matures. Included alongside transactionOrderId.
  • timestamp: ISO 8601 time the event occurred

Example payloads

Post purchase

Message purchase

A purchase of an off-platform checkout-link product fires purchase.new with neither postUuid nor routeUuid. For link-level detail (product, billing reason) subscribe to checkout_link.payment.succeeded.
