=== A subscription included in transaction fees (micro-payment) === | |||
Lower commissions come with a service model where the subscription itself is intended to be nearly invisible. The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Subscription|monthly subscription]] (in the order of CHF 1 per month, or 10 or 5 centimes depending on the transaction) would not be billed separately: it is intended to be included as a '''micro-payment inside the transaction fees'''. | |||
Example: on a transport service with fees equivalent to CHF 20, the CHF 1 monthly subscription would be collected transparently and automatically within that transaction. Users would not have the feeling of "paying a subscription": it would be taken naturally at the moment of the deal. | |||
Because commissions stay below those of incumbent platforms, this combination (lower fees plus an embedded subscription) is intended to keep WikiDeal cheaper overall while funding redistribution: up to 100% of these subscriptions could flow back to [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Reward]] holders. This could make redistribution significantly faster than a fixed pro-rata scheme (for instance, faster than a one-in-200-million ratio); the exact allocation ratio is intended to be adjusted along the way, through the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|Open Call]] process. | |||
