We never touch the money.
Supporters pay from their wallet straight into yours, so we can’t see the payment. We say what we know: they said they paid. Check your wallet, then press “Got it”.

Your page is free, and stays free: we never touch the money, so there’s nothing to take a cut of. Pro is an optional add-on for people with their own eSewa merchant account, and it isn’t on sale yet.

FAQ
Do you sell cigarettes?
No. Nobody gets a cigarette. It’s a tip page with a joke on it. What people spend the money on is between them and their lungs.
Do you hold my money?
No. Supporters pay straight into your own eSewa, Khalti or bank account from your QR. With Checkout (Beta), eSewa pays your own merchant account. We never see, hold or pay out money.
How do I know someone actually paid?
Check your wallet. Until you press “Got it”, we show it as “said they paid”, never as verified. With Checkout (Beta), eSewa confirms the payment and it shows as verified.
Is it really free?
Your page is free and stays free: we don’t handle the money, so there’s no cut to take. Pro is an optional paid add-on that isn’t on sale yet. The price on the pricing card is what we expect to charge, and nothing can be bought today.
What is Checkout (Beta)?
For people who already have an eSewa merchant account (that needs a registered business). Add your own keys and supporters pay the exact amount on eSewa. Most people don’t need it: your QR works fine. It comes with Pro, which isn’t on sale yet. Leave your email on the pricing card and we’ll tell you when it is.
Can I change the prices?
Free pages get a fixed menu: Rs. 25, Rs. 100 or Rs. 400. With Checkout (Beta) on, you pick the sutta name, what a stick costs, and every tier. It has to be a made-up name: Nepal’s tobacco law doesn’t allow a real cigarette brand on the page.
