How revenue is distributed
Where the money goes.
After payment processing fees and tax obligations (handled at up to 20% to cover cashflow, maintenance, marketing and infrastructure), up to 80% of net revenue after tax is allocated to selected global charities. The founder retains a portion for time and ongoing platform development. Full charity allocation is published on the charities page.
