WebMonetization Section

WebMonetization is a exciting new Web Technology that has the potential to revolutionise how content creators make their income.

Motivation

The ability to transfer money has been a long-standing omission from the web platform. As a result, the web suffers from a flood of advertising and corrupt business models. Web Monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate creators, pay for API calls, and support crucial web infrastructure.

The development of Little Webby Press has been originally funded by Grant For The Web, and WebMonetization has always been a core feature of our little tool.

You can create a [webmonetization] section and add your WebMonetization Payment Pointer to enable WebMonetization for the Website. If you do that, then readers who are using WebMonetization-enabled browsers to read your book on the Web will be able to automatically send you some microtransactions.
