Instead of charging a commission on each transaction, why not eat your own dogfood? Just place a flattr button on flattr itself and let users control what proportion of their monthly payment goes to flattr itself like they can with every other creator?
It’s the same. By using flattr, you are expressing that you like it.
Looking forward to testing it out.

It’s interesting to see whether or not Flattr will work out, but if they keep their head steady then there is a lot of promise. Check out this link on The Music Void and see what you make of it – http://bit.ly/94z3VW
