Every paid subscription still pays a payment processor. Many platforms then take a second cut on top of that. That second cut is the platform commission. On Serey the platform commission is 0 percent. Creators still pay normal processor fees such as Stripe, iDEAL, USDC, or USDT.

Card networks and banks charge for moving money. That cost shows up almost everywhere a reader pays. What varies is whether the publishing platform also keeps a share of the subscription.
Substack takes 10 percent of paid subscriptions as its platform cut, on top of processor fees. On a year that brings in 30,000 dollars before fees, that 10 percent is 3,000 dollars. The processor fee is separate.
Serey is built so the platform commission stays at 0 percent. Publishing stays free. Formats include blog, video, podcast, and webshop. Creators keep control of an exportable email list. The money that would have gone to a platform cut can stay with the work, after ordinary processor fees.
This is not a promise about earnings. It is a clear fee split. Know which fee is the processor and which fee is the platform before you scale a paid list.
