About the product
Picax is a platform aimed at making money by selling Instagram content.
To start using the web service a user logs in with Instagram or Facebook.
A user signed in via Facebook can only view or purchase photos.
Users that have signed in via Instagram also have the option of putting content up for sale.
By putting the hashtag #picax under the post, the user submits the photo to the pool of moderators. After it’s approved by the moderators, the photo is placed on the platform and is ready for sale.
The content was originally sold on Shopify. Before the launch of the service, we signed an agreement with 23 photographers.
