OP, please fix this! It looks like you've made a cool product; there's no need to be misleading about how much it costs. Just give the real "after-fees" percentage straight out.

This isn't correct. Re-pasting a previous answer to add clarity:
So if you sell a $10 item:
1%, or 10c goes to Flurly
2.9% + 30c or 59c goes to Stripe
$10 - 10c - 59c = $9.31 goes to the seller
There is no additional charge to the customer above $10.

Wait a second -- that means your claim that 99% goes to the seller is false, which is even worse in my opinion because you explicitly state that they get 99%. You can't have it both ways -- someone is paying for the Stripe fees, dude. You should change your wording immediately to make it clear that the seller does NOT get 99%, they get 99% LESS Stripe fees, which is a huge difference, since your entire marketing strategy seems to rely on them getting 99% (which is not the case).

The copy has been updated to reflect that the 99% is after payment processing fees.

The fine print contains a larger fee (2.9% + 30) than the large print (1%), so it's still definitely misleading. It's like selling someone a $5 item with fine print that shipping will be $10. Shouldn't you be up front about the larger term? Anyway, good luck. Also, you forgot to update the gif.
The additional cost is covered by the customer, so they're not lying about only taking 1% from the seller... still a bit misleading, though.
