The fee is deducted automatically at the smart contract level at the moment of transaction. When a user pays for a subscription in USDC, the contract routes 98.5% directly to your designated payout wallet and 1.5% to the VREN treasury. There are no invoices or end-of-month true-ups.
By default, users pay their own gas (typically less than a cent on Polygon). However, the VREN SDK supports integration with account abstraction providers if you choose to sponsor gas for a completely gasless experience.
