PRODUCT

1. What are the 3 different types of ways to publish a recipe, and what's the difference between them?

   There are free recipes, paid singles, and recipes that will be part of a paid collection. Once you publish a recipe to a category, it cannot be manually changed. Free recipes will always be free, or part of a free collection, and paid singles can only live as stand-alone paid recipes (cannot be part of a collection). If a recipe is part of category of "Paid in Collection," you can use this in multiple collections.

2. What if there is type of equipment that I need that is not listed?

   Try to find an option that is as similar to what you need. You can also email [email protected] and share what you would like to add, and we will add this to our database.

3. What if I published a recipe or collection and want to make a modification?

   We currently do have allow users to edit published collections. Please email [email protected] for assistance. For recipes, creators can edit steps, images, and description content. If you would like to change the category (free, paid, paid in collection), please send an email to [email protected].

4. What if I'm getting an error that my recipe won't publish?

   Please be sure to have an image and at least 1 tag for each recipe, and that there are no additional steps or elements that may have be added in Step 1.

PRICING

1. How much of the sale price do I get to keep?
   • Creators keep 80% of the proceeds from sale of recipes or collections minus processing fees of 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction charged by stripe
2. Who pays for credit card processing?
   • Credit card processing fees are paid by the creator
   • Your credit card processing fee will depend on the size of the order / size of the collection (ie the price). Credit card processing fees also vary by what platform content is purchased on.
     • Web (Stripe): 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction
     • iOS & Android: 30%
3. Why does Foody charge 20%? Why don't I get to keep 100%?
   • The 20% that Foody keeps from each sale helps maintain and run the platform. Out of this portion of the sale, Foody handles (and pays) for things including: data hosting, credit card fraud, general website upkeep and management, customer support, marketing to recruit new users to the platform, and more.
4. Does all the content I post to Foody need to be for sale?
   • No! Free content is not only ok, it's encouraged. If you've already posted content for free on a blog or social media, for example, there is no reason not to post it again on Foody.
   • Some users prefer browsing free content before they decide to buy from a particular creator.
   • Having the ability to browse free content, or to "try before you buy" is a way for users to establish trust with a creator, to get a preview of the type of content they can expect.
5. How and how often do I get paid out?
   • As a creator, your funds from sales are available after 30 days.
6. Can I set my own pricing?
   • Currently we have set prices per recipe and per collection depending on the number of recipes per collection.
7. If I have a recipe that I've selected as a paid single, can I move this into a paid collection?
   • Currently, if you have published a recipe as a paid single, you will not be able to manually move this into a paid collection. We are working to update this functionality. In the meantime, please email [email protected] for assistance.
