I’ve been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue.
Let say two artists put their work together and want to add a donation banner on the webpage of their collaboration. For example, a singer shares their music with a video maker.
First, they agree on an arbitrary share for future donations. Like 50%/50% or 75%/25%, etc.
They may not know each other well, they may live in two separate continents.
Is there any platform or api allowing this?
- Once the share is agreed upon, an artist can not change it without the approval of both.
- The platform shouldn’t be bound to a country (for example Stripe cannot accept international donations, unless the artists are in the US).
- I may be wishing for Santa Claus, but a privacy-friendly solution would be awesome.
Any idea appreciated, I’ve been drying my a$$ off for weeks on this one.
OpenCollective
Thank, OpenCollective is great, especially for opensource.
Maybe I overlooked a detail, but I didn’t see a feature to split donations across payees?
It doesn’t have the functionality explicitly. But it works by anyone being able to submit an expense and they have to be approved by an admin of the page then it’s processed in 2 weeks. All transactions logs are public (private information is only visible to admins), so if both people are admins on of the page, they can see and approve each others expenses or cancel the submitted expense if something fishy is going on.
There are are plenty of services that have split sharing via cryptocurrencies, but I imagine having similar system with fiat currency just doesn’t make sense as it adds a lot of complexity for the entity that handles the transactions. There might be one, but I’m not aware of it.
Alright, this is a multi-step process, but it seems workable. I’ll look further into it then. Thank you!
