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.
Maker
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 ❤️ They are super knowledgeable and will be able to answer your questions there!
Maker
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 and we will get a time on the calendar 💪
I'm so excited to see where this will go. I'm thirty-four, and have always wanted to be a successful freelance/ independent designer. My Career has gone through so many pits and turns, it was honestly painful. Now, through organically choosing to do inner-work and personal development, I have finally been able to see myself more clearly. Especially about the services I now offer. I feel like 2020-2021 has birthed so many new discoveries, I'm Truly excited for this platform, and the innovations it's making. Equally excited to see what the future holds and the ability to take steps towards connecting with more like minded people, + creating true financial wealth and sustainability.
