How you get paid today

Every option makes you look like a kid doing a favor.

The work is real and the client is real. The payment method is a group chat and somebody's mom.

Venmo → mom

It's her account, her name, her transaction history. You ask her for your own money.

Cash

No record. Nothing to show a client who wants a receipt, or the IRS if you clear $400.

“I'll get you next week”

You have no invoice to point at, so following up feels like begging.

A business account

Requires 18. Waiting it out costs you two years of clients.

How fuime works

Three steps. One of them needs a parent.

01 Name your business

About a minute. You'll need a parent or guardian's email address.

A blank sheet of paper and a pen on a folding table, lit from one side by a laptop screen.

02 A guardian signs

They accept the Guardian Agreement, become the legal payee, and approve the payout destination.

A phone lying face up in the grass at night, its screen glowing.

03 Invoice and keep books

Send a link. fuime keeps the books: income, expenses, and net.

An open cardboard box and a camera lens on the grass at night.

What it costs

One price. Nothing until you sell.

fuime · 5% of what you collect, minimum 50¢

No monthly fee. Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ comes out of it.

The full price list

For parents

You sign once. You keep the controls.

Your kid is going to keep taking money for work either way. This is the version with a paper trail.

Read what you're actually signing

A tall arched window at night seen from inside a dark room, two mugs on the sill, the lights of a town in the valley below.
A stone archway standing alone on a hilltop at dusk, the lights of a town visible through the opening.
