Being a creator is fun, but not without its hurdles. The lack of a suitable outlet to express creativity, complexities and costs of building a website, accepting payments from customers worldwide—the obstacles are both numerous and tedious. However, we’ve come up with a solution that is about to make the entire process a whole lot easier.
Flutterwave recently acquired Disha to ensure creators can curate, showcase and receive payments for their hard work and creativity, seamlessly. This acquisition aims to grow the creator economy, particularly in Africa, and provide the tools and templates needed for them to showcase products and talents whilst receiving value for their creativity. What’s more? There is absolutely no need to know how to write a line of code.
With this, digital creators and creatives have the power to do business with anyone anywhere in the world. Coverage is unlimited. The possibilities are endless.
