Description

What

In the current Android app (I suspect exactly the same on IOS), simple the the OFF website gets opened to donate, where the donations are processed via the donor box. Which surprised me because the stores don't actually like to see it (see Apple vs EpicGames).

With the new app, I see potential to improve this. Both Apple and Google offer a non-profit program where 100% of the price goes to the non-profit company. Google offers even more advanced features with this program. There is also an official plugin that offers in-app purchases.

What do you think about this idea
