Velvetvibe (Pins)

VelvetVibe is your space to share thoughts, moments, opinions, or vibes with the community.
Pins are short posts that stay visible for 48 hours and can be liked or commented on.

What is a Pin?

A Pin is a short text post you share with the community.
Every Pin you publish is visible for 48 hours, then it automatically disappears.

Pins can include text only

You can post as many Pins as you want — each Pin requires 1 Pin credit.

How to post a Pin

  1. Tap Add Pin

  2. Write your message

  3. (Optional) Add a photo

  4. Tap Create

If you have at least 1 Pin credit, the Pin will be posted immediately.

If you have 0 Pin credits, you will see a message:
“⚠️ You need 1 Pin to post.”
You can then tap Get Pins to purchase more..

Pin balance & Buying Pins

You can buy Pins in two places:

A) From the Add Pin screen

If your balance is 0, you'll see the warning:
⚠️ You need 1 Pin to post.

Tap Get Pins → Choose a package.

B) From your Profile → Pin Balance

Tap Get Pins to open the purchase options.

Available Pin Packages

  • 3 Pins → 3 CHF

  • 6 Pins → 5 CHF

  • 10 Pins → 8 CHF

After purchase, your new Pin balance appears immediately.

Refunds

Velvet does not offer refunds on Pin purchases (same for Boosts & Ghost Mode).

Who can see my Pins?

Everyone can see your Pins depending on the VelvetVibe filter they selected.

Meaning:

  • If a user is browsing All Countries, they will see your Pin with your country flag.

  • If they filter by Switzerland, they will only see Pins from users currently set to Switzerland.

  • Your Pin appears according to their filter, not yours.

Even while in Ghost Mode, your Pins remain visible — only your profile visibility on Map, List and Explore is hidden.
