On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Chariow Creator Meetup took place in Cotonou—an exclusive event bringing creators together for a moment of conversation, sharing experiences, and vision.

This meetup was an opportunity to reaffirm the mission of Axa Zara and Chariow: to offer African creators—and creators everywhere—simple, useful, and relevant tools to monetize their know-how and grow their projects. It was also a chance to introduce what’s next for the platform and to reveal Tribbut, a brand new product designed to change the way creators and their audience connect.

Big announcements for Chariow

During the meetup, several big updates were introduced, marking a whole new chapter in supporting creators:

• Discover: a curated showcase that puts the spotlight on the most unique and high-quality products from creators, based on strict criteria set by the team.

• New offer formats: bundles (product packs), paid webinars, and personalized coaching, so creators can diversify their income and offer more value to their communities.

• Improved mobility: coming soon, two Chariow apps—one for creators to track and manage their activity anytime, and another for learners to easily access content.

• Opening up to new markets: especially English-speaking Africa and Europe, with the addition of local and international payment methods.

• Pro tools: integrated invoice management, GDPR compliance, and faster payout options (bank transfers, mobile money, crypto).

• Optimized pricing: a new pricing system that'll let creators cut their fees by up to 50%.

All these changes show a clear goal: going beyond just selling digital products and actually giving creators a complete, lasting experience.

Tribbut launch: the next chapter

The highlight of the meetup was the announcement of Tribbut, the new product from Axa Zara.

If Chariow helped make digital product monetization easier, Tribbut answers an even deeper need: turning audience engagement into long-lasting economic value.

With Tribbut, creators will be able to:

• Create premium communities on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and more.

• Automate member management (add/remove based on payment status).

• Get automated recurring payments, accepted worldwide (credit cards and mobile money).

• Track their community's performance with detailed analytics.

• Use marketing integrations to connect their tools and offer personalized deals.

Tribbut embodies Axa Zara’s belief: the next big value isn’t just in what you sell, but in the community you build.

What’s next?

This meetup was just a step. Over the next few days, the Chariow team will share more details about each of these announcements to help creators put them into action.

With Chariow and now Tribbut, Axa Zara shows just how committed she is to going further: giving creators the tools to build sustainable businesses, grow their impact, and turn their communities into real value-drivers.
