Thank you for the feedback. The Paypal integration was now for the MVP our first payment function. On the one hand because Paypal is the most important payment option in Germany and on the other hand because you can already pay via credit card with Paypal. However, we are working at full speed on the integration of other payment options. From purchase on account to topics like Giropay etc. and Crypto. Please give us a little more time. :)
Context for all non-Germans: Many "northern" Germans joke about Bavaria not being part of Germany. Another often made "joke" is that Bavaria starts ~50km south of were one lives.
Hi, we do have a bookkeeping fee which is the fee we forward 1/1 from the accounting company currently connected. This allows us to handle payments in the sub- $10 area by not having losses whilst handling payments. We might consider removing the fee in the future once we see sales in the lower $10 area are not really relevant.
The way you structure the fees is very reasonable. I am just surprised that the fees are that high. Instead of waving the fees you could try to bring them down. As long as there is no manual involvement, why should bookkeeping cost more than a cent?
That's due to rules and regulations here in Germany.
We need to have our outgoing and incoming invoices being handled properly to not run into tax fraud issues.
By talking to creators from e.g. OnlyFans, the biggest issues they faced was explaining their earnings to the tax authorities with no proper invoices at hand.
By further automating those tasks, we will be able to reduce costs dramatically and might get rid of the bookkeeping fee alltogether.
Maybe you want to just include it in the fee itself. It feels silly to have a separate fee when you advertise with 7%. At the very least it’s 7%+0.49. It’s not my problem that you have to hire an external accountant, and not something that I think is relevant for your customers.
Unlike Gumroad, our goal is not to offer sales pages for digital products - at least not initially.
We found out creators don't necessarily need a complicated landing page when selling content through e.g. tiktok or instagram or a newsletter that already provides trust. In addition, we will also process and handle invoices and credit notes

Yes, the same was true for me. I literally only want to accept payments, the sales page and the fulfilment is already done externally, so I really just need a payment form that sends me a callback.
Stripe does this, but going through their whole KYC process has become extremely arduous (and they seem incapable of being clear about what they need/want, as well as understanding that Dutch people with a Dutch company sometimes do not reside on the Netherlands).
We will handle the intl. taxation for sellers and hand out invoices to the buyers. With us you also don't have the hassle of creating your own Stripe account, API key etc etc. We learned the required expertise to set up multiple accounts when trying to sell a file was a huge pain point for creators.
