SkaDate is a unique dating site software product. Out of the box it includes essential features useful for instant engagement of users and website monetization. At the same time SkaDate is the easiest software to expand with a myriad of native and third-party plugins.
Desktop Website Features
When accessed from desktop/laptop browsers, your site may offer all kinds of features necessary for online dating and beyond. Non-essential features are optional, so make your own unique combination!
Video Chat
Let your site members make voice and video calls to each other using WebRTC technology (no server and Flash required). Easily add monetization through user roles and memberships. Requires SSL certificate (included with SkaDate hosting).
Matchmaking
Matching users using profile info and sending new matches by email. One of the most targeted and effective monetization techniques for online dating sites.
Membership Level Management
You can have any variations of premium (paid) membership on your site. Whatever makes sense for your niche and business model.
Credit System
Offer users to buy or earn credits to spend on various site benefits, including Hot list, messaging, virtual gifts, and more. This is one of the most powerful monetization mechanisms on modern dating sites.
Payment Providers
Use PayPal and CCBill (included), or Stripe, txtNation and others (available separately) — the most popular Internet payment gateways to accept credit cards and mobile payments from users.
Facebook Connect
Want more signups? Let people use their existing Facebook accounts for login and pull their profile info. A dramatic difference for signup and profile completion rates.
One-on-one Chat
Let paid subscribers easily communicate on your site. A person who received a message is more likely to subscribe to read it.
Virtual Gifts
Send lady a flower, anyone? A proven gamification tactic to maximize subscription or virtual goods revenue.

Google Maps for Location
Your users can enter arbitrary location data, like town, district, or zip code, and it will be translated into Google Maps data points. Google Maps provides unmatched accuracy and always up-to-date location data.
User Search with Proximity

Beautiful profile photo album display, a-la Instagram. Make people care about their profile look to improve the attractiveness of your online dating profiles.
Drag’n’drop Profile Builder
Remember the times when making profiles look great was hard? We don’t either. With SkaDate it’s always been a piece of cake.
