Quick clarification because we get this question a lot:
Marii does not hold your money. We never touch a cent of your revenue.
Here's how it actually works:
You sign up with a payment gateway directly — Stripe (international cards), Pesepay (Visa/Mastercard + EcoCash/Innbucks), or Paynow (EcoCash + OneMoney + VISA/Mastercard). The account is in your business name. The bank settlement is to your bank.
Then you give Marii permission to use that gateway on your storefront. When a customer pays, the money goes from their card → your gateway → your bank. Marii is just the integration.
We never see the money.
What that means for you:
✓ No commission taken by Marii. We charge a flat subscription, not a percentage.
✓ Settlement timelines are between you and your gateway, not us.
✓ Your customer relationship and your money relationship stay yours.
This is what "Bring Your Own Gateway" means. It's the design choice that makes Marii different from platforms that hold your funds and release them on their schedule.
