  • The pay what you want e-commerce platform.

    Generous allows sellers to set a minimum price and buyers to choose the price they think is fair. To encourage generosity, a percentage of every transaction goes to a good cause.

  • A new way to pay what you want.

    Grab the slider handle to choose your price. The handle always begins on the suggested price. Generous turns the everyday question, "how much does it cost?" into, "how much is it worth?"

  • Socially shareable e-commerce.

    Easily embed sliders anywhere you would a picture or video, or share them across social networks. Checkout takes place right within the slider keeping the experience completely seamless and simple.

  • Charity benefits from every sale.

    To help inspire people to give a little more, 1 to 100% of every transaction on Generous goes to a non-profit or charity.

  • The more you give, the more you get.

    Multiple incentives can be added to a slider to encourage generosity. Generous is founded on the principle that giving is as important as receiving. Amazing things happen when we ask each other to be generous.

Generous is born out of the belief that people will be generous if given the opportunity. Most of us have the desire to give more but rarely have the chance. Our mission is to provide this opportunity with a reliable set of tools that allow buyers to choose how generous they'd like to be and for sellers to receive a fair price - all while contributing to a greater social good.

We are an independent company of four based in Portland, Ann Arbor, and Milwaukee — a team of developers, musicians, animators, designers, web enthusiasts, and dreamers. We hope that what we’ve made can help everyone become a little more generous.
