SOOPER

What SOOPER does

Sooper (legal entity: Sooper Limited) is a UK-incorporated, private SaaS company founded in 2024 that operates an all-in-one community commerce platform aimed at individual creators, coaches, and small businesses. The product bundles membership management, a digital shop for one-off downloads, tier-gated chat channels, one-to-one inbox, automated digest emails, calendar and booking, customer management, and an insights dashboard (MRR, churn, LTV) into a single application. The platform runs on AWS infrastructure with Stream.io used for content aggregation and recommendations, and all payments, payouts, refunds, and revenue splits are processed via Stripe, where Sooper holds Verified Partner status.

The platform's feature surface is organized around fourteen core modules, including AI-powered content search, conversion tracking, coupons and promotions, tax and accounting automation, waitlists, video chapters, and co-creator collaboration. Memberships can be structured hierarchically (perks stack with upgrades) or as non-hierarchical/add-on tiers, and any content type — videos, files, posts, downloads — can be gated by tier.

Sooper monetizes exclusively via a flat 8% transaction fee on revenue processed through the platform, with no monthly subscription, no setup cost, no seat limits, and no storage caps. Customer acquisition is product-led and self-serve: creators sign up directly via sooper.app, with discoverability supplemented by Stripe's partner directory and featured creator showcases (Josh Butler/House Heads, Bettina's Kitchen, DeMarzo EMC, LR Audio). The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding, headcount of 1-10, and no disclosed revenue.
