# WorthIt

> WorthIt is a pay-what-it-was-worth payment button for independent creators. A creator adds one simple button or link beside an article, tool, newsletter, video or any useful work; people who got value from it pay whatever they think it was worth, after the fact, voluntarily. Payments go directly to the creator through Stripe (the creator is the merchant of record), and WorthIt charges a 0% platform fee per payment (launch offer until 30 September 2026; standard fee 3%) with no subscription.

Key facts:

- For: independent creators, including writers, open-source developers, newsletter authors, podcasters and free-tool makers.
- Model: voluntary, after-the-fact payment ("was this worth something to you?"), not a paywall, not a subscription.
- Supporters need no account; they pay in under a minute via Stripe Checkout.
- Pricing: £0 monthly, 0% platform fee per completed payment (launch offer until 30 September 2026; standard fee 3%).
- Buttons work anywhere: HTML embed, email-safe newsletter button, Markdown link, QR code or plain link.
- Payments are attributed to the specific piece of work and traffic source, so creators see which work earned what.
