Integrates with Stripe and PayPal for secure transactions.
Automated payments triggered upon video approval and publication.
Manual verification by the technical team to ensure videos remain online for the specified duration (set by brands).
Supports fixed payments (e.g., €200 per video) and performance-based bonuses (e.g., €2 per 1,000 views, manually verified).

8. Rating and Review System

Ratings displayed on profiles to build trust and credibility.

9. User Authentication

Supports social media logins (e.g., Google, Instagram, YouTube) for both brands and creators.
Custom registration system with email verification.
Implements secure authentication with encryption for sensitive data.

Technical Requirements
Frontend

Framework: React with JSX for a single-page application (SPA).
Styling: Tailwind CSS for responsive and modern UI design.
CDN Dependencies: Use cdn.jsdelivr.net for React, ReactDOM, and other libraries (e.g., Babel for JSX).
Features:
Responsive design for desktop and mobile.
Real-time updates for messaging and campaign status.
Client-side form validation (avoid <form> onSubmit due to sandbox restrictions; use onClick handlers instead).
Use className for JSX attributes.



Backend

Framework: Node.js with Express (recommended for scalability).
Database: MongoDB or PostgreSQL for storing user profiles, campaigns, messages, and analytics data.
APIs:
REST API for campaign management, user authentication, and messaging.
Integration with Stripe and PayPal APIs for payment processing.
Optional: Social media APIs (e.g., YouTube, Instagram) for profile data and verification.



Security

Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for social media logins, JWT for custom authentication.
Data Protection: Encrypt sensitive data (e.g., payment details) using HTTPS and secure APIs.
Video Uploads: Restrict downloads to ensure creator content security.

Performance

Optimize for fast load times using lazy loading and code splitting.
Ensure scalability to handle thousands of users and campaigns.

Development Considerations

Manual Video Verification: The technical team will manually check if videos remain online after the brand-specified duration (e.g., post-campaign audit).
Campaign Expiry: Implement logic to auto-expire campaigns when budgets are depleted.
Approval Deadlines: Enforce a 7-day deadline for brands to approve/reject videos to prevent payment delays.
Global Accessibility: Support multiple languages and currencies for international users.
Error Handling: Robust error messages for failed logins, payments, or uploads.

Deliverables

Fully functional React-based web application hosted on a single HTML page.
Backend API with documentation for all endpoints.
Database schema for campaigns, users, payments, and analytics.
Integration with Stripe and PayPal for payments.
Responsive UI with Tailwind CSS.
Deployment-ready codebase with setup instructions.

Assumptions

The platform will support multiple languages via a translation library (e.g., i18next).
Manual view tracking will be sufficient initially, with potential API integration (e.g., YouTube Data API) for future automation.
The technical team will have access to an admin panel for manual video verification and dispute resolution.

Next Steps

Finalize wireframes and UI/UX designs.
Define detailed API specifications.
Set up a staging environment for testing.
Begin development with iterative feedback cycles.
