Itch has no mandatory cut at all.
Theirs an argument that taking any payment at all is more trouble than it’s worth.
Say you sell 15 copies of the book per month for 10$ each. After taxes and merchant fees , and the occasional chargeback, you’ll be lucky to net half.
Is 75$ a month really worth the stress ?
This is a part of why I’m going FOSS for my side projects. Even trying to collect a single legit dollar gives people a right to complain.
Of course you can complain on GitHub anyway when it doesn’t work right, but it’s MIT, fork , send a PR or leave me alone.
