1% of eligible book revenue

The formula

Eligible gross book product revenue is the actual revenue from book line items after discounts. Taxes and shipping are excluded. A cancellation reduces the eligible amount to zero. A refund reduces it in the same proportion as the refunded share of the order total, so partial refunds reduce the commitment proportionally and full refunds reverse it.

The beneficiary

The receiving charity has not been chosen yet. It will be a registered 501(c)(3) public charity working in pet-loss support or emergency veterinary care, and it will be named here, with its EIN, before the first contribution is sent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any charity, and no charity has agreed to anything on our behalf.

The commitment itself is not conditional on that choice. The ledger accrues from the first paid order, so the money is set aside whether or not the recipient is announced.

Reconciliation and settlement

Orders accrue as pending after Shopify reports payment. We reconcile the ledger monthly, after recorded cancellations and successful refunds have been applied. Reversed amounts are not included in settlement. Eligible amounts are settled by direct donation to the beneficiary once the recipient is named, and each settlement's receipt reference is retained in the ledger.

Reporting

Public totals will count settled contributions only, never pending accruals. This page states the method now; a cumulative settled total will be shown only after settlement records exist and have been reconciled against the platform report.
