Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I know our non-profit can get a total of 50% of your proceeds, 25% as a donation and 25% as a commission, but when are the payout dates?
A: The 25% donation is made as soon as the total donation owed to your non-profit organization from all Sosbuzz members that have selected your non-profit organization as their cause reaches $10. However, the 25% commission is posted when the commission owed reaches $50, and is paid on the 15th of each month, following a 60-day maturation period from when we initially collect our fee from the seller. If the 15th falls on a weekend or an American Holiday, the commission payment will be made the next business day. All commission payments are made via PayPal to the email address you provided us, as all Sosbuzz members, not just non-profit organizations, can participate in our commission program.
Q: How does Sosbuzz work?
A: Sosbuzz is a deal search engine. We have tens of thousands of deals from all sorts of family-friendly businesses. Everything from computers to contractors, from plastic surgeons to plumbers. However, people don't just use Sosbuzz because they find great deals on all sorts of products and services, they use Sosbuzz because when they report their purchases to Sosbuzz, their favorite cause gets a 25% donation of our proceeds. Here's what happens behind the scenes - when our members find a deal, and report their purchase, upon the seller's confirmation, our system charges the seller a fee. We will then donate 25% of our proceeds to the cause the member that reports the purchase had selected. The seller gets to advertise risk free, the member gets a great deal, and a cause gets a donation. Everyone wins.

Q: When can we expect to receive a donation?
A: As soon as the collective reporting of all Sosbuzz members that have selected your organization as their cause reaches at least $10.

Q: What payment method do you use to make the donation?
A: Your choice of Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Check.
