Welcome!
Welcome to Gratipay! We provide voluntary payments and (eventually) payroll for open work.
What is Open Work? ¶
“Open work” means that your company or organization makes it easy for any individual to do your work for you without asking you first, and as a result to share in any revenue you generate. Basically you need to have a public issue tracker with documentation for self-onboarding, and be willing to use our payroll feature once we bring it back.
Other Basic Terminology ¶
Gratipay has “~users” and “Teams,” and every Team has an “owner,” who is a ~user.
