At breakeven
Breakeven is reached when a modest €6.000 revenue per year is generated with the platform (€6000 minus 60% to charity = €2400 income per year, which is €200 per month). Above this breakeven point the monthly set amount will change into a flat percentage: 14% revenue franchise fee. The projected earnings (on top of this page) have been calculated with the franchise fee already deducted.
As per our statistics breakeven will be reached when about 120 causes have been registered to your platform to raise free donations. For context: we typically look for a networker with a least 1000 causes in their network.
How much is given to causes
The 14% franchise fee is calculated based on 60% of the commissions given to charitable causes (charity fee). If the amount allocated for charity changes, our overall earnings will also change, causing a shift in the franchise fee percentage.
In simple terms, if more money goes to charity, our overall income becomes less and the franchise fee goes slightly down. If less goes to charity, our overall income becomes higher and the franchise fee goes slightly up.
Frequently Asked Questions
* Because ShopDonation is international, can I expect causes from other countries to join my platform?
Yes, causes that signed up on ShopDonation platforms in other countries, might also have a reach in your country. For example causes like Make-A-Wish Foundation, Oxfam Novib, Red Cross have already signed up on a few ShopDonation platforms and might generate sales through your platform as well, because they have supporters there too. Each cause will have their own international ShopDonation-link, that can drive sales to your platform straight away.
Causes from other countries aren’t factored into our breakeven estimate and income projections. However, they can contribute to reaching breakeven right from the start! As we expand to more countries, a vacant ShopDonation platform may become more valuable because it can generate income immediately. For this reason, we may charge a higher monthly fee for new franchisees in the future due to this added value.
* Must I approach all webshops and create a partnership with them?
No, signing up webshops through affiliate marketing systems is a fairly simple process, an application is done through the click of a button without any need for personal contact. Adding all webshops can be a technical and administrative process, which is why it’s preferred to have an affiliate marketer handle this part.
