How to Build a Multi-Uploader [Madara] Manga Site with Income & Withdrawal Management

Running a successful manga website today is no longer just about publishing content—it is about fair monetization, transparent income tracking, and reliable payout workflows for authors.

With WP Manga Chapter Coin, you can turn a Madara-based WordPress site into a scalable, multi-uploader platform where authors earn coins from premium chapters and request withdrawals in a controlled, professional manner.

This guide walks you through the entire process step by step, from setup to real-world operation.

What Is WP Manga Chapter Coin?

WP Manga Chapter Coin is a monetization plugin built specifically for the Madara theme and WP Manga (Madara-Core). It allows you to:

• Charge coins for individual manga chapters

• Track revenue at chapter, manga, and author levels

• Share income between platform and uploaders

• Manage withdrawal requests from authors

The plugin uses MyCred as its coin and balance system, ensuring flexibility and long-term stability.

Step 1: Prepare Your Madara Environment

Before enabling income and withdrawals, make sure your site meets the required foundation.

Required Plugins

Install and activate the following:

1. Madara Theme

2. WP Manga (Madara-Core) – version 2.2 or higher

3. MyCred – for coin management

4. WP Manga Chapter Coin

5. (Optional but recommended) WP Manga Member Upload PRO – for front-end uploader support

Once all plugins are active, you are ready to configure monetization.

Step 2: Enable Chapter-Based Monetization

After activating WP Manga Chapter Coin:

1. Go to WP Manga Settings → WP Manga – Chapter Coin

2. Set a Default Coin Value (e.g. 5 coins per chapter)

   

3. Configure the Buy Coin URL (where users purchase coins). Since we are using myCred, you will need to setup a Buy Cred page using shortcodes: https://codex.mycred.me/chapter-iii/buycred/add-on-setup/#sticky_doc Please follow the guidelines to enable Payment Gateways (Paypal, Stripe, or payOS)

4. Save changes

From now on, any chapter can be:

• Free

• Premium (locked by coins)

• Custom-priced per chapter: when you add or edit a chapter, you can set specific Coin value for it (which will override the default value in plugin setting)

  

This gives you full pricing control without altering your content structure.

Step 3: Configure Revenue Sharing

To operate a fair multi-uploader platform, revenue must be split transparently. Go to WP Manga Settings > WP Manga – Chapter Coin settings page

In General Settings tab:

• Define the Split Revenue Percentage for the site owner

• Assign the Split Revenue Owner (your admin user ID)

Example:

• 30% platform share

• 70% goes to the manga author

Each time a chapter is unlocked, the system automatically calculates and records these shares.

No spreadsheets. No manual accounting.

Step 4: Enable Income Management for Uploaders

This is the core step for multi-author platforms.

1. In WP Manga Chapter Coin Settings

2. Enable Manage Uploader Income

3. Select which User Roles are considered uploaders (e.g. Author, Contributor)

Once enabled, uploaders gain access to:

• An Income page in their user dashboard (by default, the /user-settings/ page – make sure you have setup this page in WP Manga Settings > User Settings). This let users view all time revenue and the available withdrawal value

  

• Revenue statistics per week and per each manga

  

• Author can also view detail revenue of each manga

  

• Withdrawal request functionality: when there are available fun, authors can request to convert the Coin Revenue to actual currency

Admins retain full oversight of all income data.

Step 5: Set Up Withdrawal Rules

If you are running a Madara site solo, you may not need this feature. But in case you are allowing many uploaders to upload stories on your site, and you are selling premium content, then this feature is for you and your uploaders who want to earn money from their content.

Withdrawal Configuration

Go to Withdrawal Settings and define:

• Allow Withdrawal (enable/disable globally)

• Supported currencies (USD, EUR, etc.)

• Coin-to-currency exchange rates

• Minimum withdrawal threshold

• Optional PayPal fee percentage

These rules ensure that:

• Authors cannot withdraw insignificant amounts

• Payouts follow your platform’s financial policy

• Admins maintain final approval authority

Step 6: Author Workflow – From Earnings to Withdrawal

From the uploader’s perspective, the process is straightforward and professional.

Author Experience

1. Upload manga and chapters (via admin or front end)

2. Set coin values for premium chapters

3. Earn coins when readers unlock chapters

   

4. View total income in the Income dashboard

5. Add withdrawal account details in User Settings page

   

6. Submit a withdrawal request when eligible

   

This transparency builds trust and encourages creators to publish more content on your platform.

Step 7: Admin Workflow – Reviewing Withdrawals

Admins manage payouts from a centralized interface.

Admin Controls

• View all withdrawal requests

• Review author balance and history

• Approve or reject requests in Withdrawal Requests management page. The payout will be done outside the system. When you are done, approve the Request in the admin and add transaction detail to it as needed.

  

• Maintain records for accounting purposes

Although payouts are currently processed outside the system, the workflow is structured and scalable. Future versions will support automated online payouts.

Step 8: Monitor Platform Performance

Beyond withdrawals, WP Manga Chapter Coin provides valuable insights:

• Coin usage logs in Coins > Log page

  

• Revenue per Manga or per Author in WP Manga Coins Report page

  

• Site-level earnings summaries WP Manga Coins Report > Site Revenue

  

These metrics help you:

• Identify top-performing content

• Optimize pricing strategies

• Reward high-quality creators

Why This Matters for Madara Site Owners

Without a proper income system:

• Authors lose trust

• Admin workload increases

• Monetization becomes chaotic

With WP Manga Chapter Coin:

• Revenue is transparent

• Authors feel rewarded

• The platform scales cleanly

Whether you run a small curated manga site or a large community-driven platform, this system gives you the infrastructure needed to grow sustainably.

Final Thoughts

WP Manga Chapter Coin transforms Madara from a publishing theme into a complete monetization platform.

If your goal is to:

• Attract serious creators

• Monetize premium content

• Manage income professionally

Then this plugin is a foundational piece of your stack.

Start with a clear setup, communicate rules to your uploaders, and build a manga platform that rewards everyone fairly.
