  2. Record and release

    Finish a reading, then release it platform-wide — free or with a price. Release is the consent; families shelve it and it plays in their reading room.

  3. Connect payouts

    Stripe Connect, from your dashboard. Free releases work before this; selling and commissions wait on it.

  4. Take commissions

    A family asks for a book read for their child. They pay up front; we hold it; you deliver; they accept (or seven quiet days pass) and it's paid out, less 20%.
