I make website software for photographers to sell prints/digital downloads to their clients. I want to offer a free version of my software that allows photographers to accept PayPal payments but I would receive a 3% commission on every sale they make. So if Photographer Jane sells $100 in prints to her customer via my software with the PayPal integration, I would receive $3 and Jane would receive the remaining $97 (minus PayPal fees).
