Earn through project implementation
Approved NGO partners may receive revenue from verified product sales completed through the platform.
The product price, applicable taxes, shipping charges, payment-processing costs, platform or coordination charges, refunds and partner revenue share will be transparently disclosed and agreed in writing before activation.
Partner settlements will be based on successfully completed and verified orders after applicable deductions, cancellations, refunds, replacements and return adjustments.
NGOs remain responsible for making lawful payments to participating producers in accordance with their internal agreements, governing documents and applicable laws.
Onboarding, product approval or platform listing does not guarantee customer orders, exports, exhibition bookings, fixed income or minimum revenue.
