# Welcome to ZeroCut [#welcome-to-zerocut]

ZeroCut is the creator-first donation platform that puts more money in your pocket. We believe that creators shouldn't have to pay a "platform tax" on their hard-earned tips. That's why **we take 0% platform fees**.

When a fan donates $10, you get the full $10 minus standard payment processing fees (like Stripe or PayPal). No hidden cuts, no monthly fees for basic features.

## Free Trial & Access [#free-trial--access]

When you receive your first donation, you'll automatically start a **7-day free trial** to explore all of zerocut.gg's features. After your trial ends, you'll need to purchase **Basic Access** or **Premium Access** to continue using the platform.

* **Basic Access**: Unlock core features and continue accepting donations
* **Premium Access**: Get everything in Basic plus advanced features like Discord integration, webhooks, and more (custom domains available as a $1/mo add-on)

## How It Works [#how-it-works]

1. **Create your page**: Sign up and customize your personal donation link (e.g., `zerocut.gg/yourname`).
2. **Connect payments**: Link your Stripe or PayPal account to receive funds directly.
3. **Share & Earn**: Share your link on your stream, bio, or social media.
4. **Engage**: Use our real-time overlays to shout out your supporters on stream.
5. **Start your trial**: Your 7-day free trial begins automatically when you receive your first donation.
