PanelWave
Feature 08of 08 · Keep 100%

Keep 100%. Not 70. Not 50.

Keep 100% of what readers pay

PanelWave takes no share of your content sales — on any plan, including free. When reader payments launch, the money goes straight to your own Stripe account: you are the merchant, only the payment provider's fees apply. We earn from the studio tools, never from your stories.

In detail

What you get

01

0% platform fee, pinned in code

The platform fee is fixed at zero in the payment integration — not a promotional rate.
02

Paid straight to you

Payments are direct charges on your own connected Stripe account. PanelWave never holds your money.
03

Gate what you want

Paywall rules per work, chapter, panel or bonus extra, with free preview panels — set up and tested in the content map.
04

Products, coupons, regional prices

One-time purchases and subscriptions, coupons and price points per currency, so a chapter can cost what makes sense locally.
05

Locked on the server

Gated panels never reach readers who haven't unlocked them — they aren't just blurred in the browser.
06

Fair plans

Start free with one full publication. Then a one-time Work Pass per book or a subscription when you run a catalogue.

Every great story starts as a sketch.

Open the drawing board and start with your script, the smoothest way in, or with the art you already have: panel images, video clips or pages without lettering. Add balloons, shape the story, and see your first chapter running on a screen.
