9. Important KobPaw Pricing Principle
KobPaw will structure its pricing to ensure that payment processing costs do not eliminate KobPaw's revenue. The basic pricing formula may be:

This allows KobPaw to remain financially sustainable while continuing to provide secure payment services.

= Final Customer Fee
This model helps ensure that KobPaw does not lose money on transactions and can generate sustainable revenue as the platform grows.
