Adding a monthly revenue figure to your listing

How to report your company's revenue for a month, where it appears and how it is labelled.

Updated

What you can share

Your company can show what it earned in a month - one figure, in US dollars. Every figure is labelled self-reported, as it is not audited by us. The figure can be entered by the owner or by a manager of the listing. Whether to add one is entirely up to you.

Reporting it

Head to /account/revenue - you need to be signed in. Type the amount, choose which month it is, and report it - the proof link field can stay empty.

Accepted figures

Months older than two years, or still to come, cannot be chosen. Zero is not a figure - to take a number down, use Remove. Use a public https:// address for the proof link, if you add one. The proof link is for our staff only.

On your listing

It is shown with its month and the date you reported it, and marked self-reported. Your listing and the revenue leaderboard both show the figure. The figure travels with the company to every site it is listed on.

How the board works

Verified and self-reported figures sit in two separate tables on /leaderboards/revenue, each ranked on its own. The verified option is live: details are in the section below. Revenue never counts as votes and has nothing to do with the paid billboard.

Edits and removal

Edit or remove it at /account/revenue at any time. Every change is kept in the listing's history.

Verified figures

Verified revenue is set up from /account/revenue/verified once you are signed in, by the listing's owner or a manager. We take the figure from your payment account, or check it against a statement. A Stripe restricted key with read access, or a Paddle key with read access, lets us read your revenue for each finished month. Other providers (PayPal, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad and the rest) work by statement: upload it, and a member of our team checks it before anything is shown.

We match the connected account to your listing automatically: Stripe by its display name or card statement text, Paddle by its approved checkout domain. No match means a member of our team checks it before it shows, and you hear back either way.

We add up your verified sources for the last finished month and show that one total, marked verified, with the sources listed beneath it and the last-checked date. Your listing shows it rather than the self-reported figure, and /leaderboards/revenue lists it in the verified table. If your account takes another currency, the month's figure is converted to US dollars at the official ECB average rate for that month, with a note saying which currency it came from.

Keys are stored encrypted and only their last four characters are ever shown again; a Stripe key that could change anything or read your customers is refused (for Paddle, tick only the Read boxes). Connected accounts are read again about once a day. Disconnect a source at /account/revenue/verified at any time and its figure is no longer shown (delete the key in Stripe or Paddle as well).
