@joecardillo Thank you!! We have an incredible team here at Contra working to change the independent landscape for the better 🤩
How does it work exactly? Do I get paid in USD? How are you able to skip the credit card fees? There is not a lot of explanation here and it makes it look like a scam. Are you using a traditional bank/card rails? Is there a fee elsewhere? More transparency will be good.
EDIT: after digging more I've found this: "Contra is 100% commission free, however clients will be charged a Stripe processing fee for each payment." so there is a ~3% commission after all. This site is very deceiving and I will categorize as false advertising.
@sagivo No false advertising here! ✨ Unfortunately, we can't avoid the Stripe processing fee, but this will always beat the ~20% commission fees taken from alternative platforms. For any specific questions regarding payments, please reach out to our support team at payments@contra.com ❤️ They are super knowledgeable and will be able to answer your questions there!
@sagivo Thanks for this feedback! It is super helpful to know how our site is seen by our community. I would love to hop on a call with you if you are up for it so I can better explain how our commission free payments work on Contra and to hear any other feedback you may have for us. If you are up for it, please email me at zoe@contra.com and we will get a time on the calendar 💪
Thank you so much 😍 we were able to work with some amazing collaborators, Jill & Willie from Advntr Studio on the video ✨
@davepoly For sure!! They were an amazing team to work with and did such a great job on our launch video!! Thanks so much for supporting us ❤️
For payments in only stated US Banks.
We currently support payouts through US bank accounts
(including those setup through 3rd party services)
When i change to country "Singapore" it says
"An error occurred generating a Stripe onboarding URL"
I love the idea, but if you're doing this for the independents.
Make sure is possible for international.
PS: cool marketing video.
