Q: I have some questions. thanks in advance
1. How much does it cost to buy out of the commission agreement and if you can, can you, if possible, buy it via a lump sum?
2. When a webinar is held, for example, can the participants "see" each other? It can be a very sensitive topic that I teach and I think that my target group would like to be anonymous to each other. Is that an option?
3. Can I have my domain as e.g.
mydomain.com without it being linked to yours, or subdomains?
4. Do you have cookie options that you can set up yourself, for when someone visits the landing page, or website, whether they want to accept or reject it?
5: can people in the community access it from the phone? Can you be anonymous as a participant in the community?
6: is it possible to create a blog?
7: how do I find out which plan suits me? For example, can I start with plan 1 or 2 and then upgrade?

Jun 11, 2025A: Hey kontakt697, thank you for your many questions.
1. Commission-Free Option: For lifetime deal users, sales commission ranges from 10% (Basic/Start 1) to 2% (Basic/Start 3). If you'd prefer to bypass commissions entirely, we offer a No Commission Add-on starting at $19/month (up to $29/month depending on your plan). While it’s not available as a lump-sum buyout, you can choose annual billing to save around 20%.
2. Webinar Privacy: Forento doesn’t include a built-in video tool, but our Events and Sessions work with any external service like Zoom, Google Meet, or others. Whether participants can see each other depends entirely on the settings of the platform you choose. So, yes, anonymous attendance is possible, depending on your webinar setup.
3. Custom Domains: Absolutely. You can connect your academy to your own domain (e.g., mydomain.com) via DNS, without needing to use a subdomain or show any connection to Forento. Here’s our setup guide: https://help.forento.io/en/articles/9201186-connecting-a-custom-domain
4. Cookie Consent: The academy section comes with a cookie banner and policy built in. For your main website, you can either embed a third-party cookie manager via script or configure it through HTML to handle GDPR compliance however you prefer.
5. Mobile Access & Community Privacy: Yes, your entire academy, including the community, is fully accessible on mobile. Users create an account with a name that is only visible to you and your team. When joining the community, they must opt in, and they can easily change their details in the settings view, including the option to use a different name for anonymity.
6. Blog Feature: Yes, we support blog posts through our built-in Articles feature, ideal for adding regular content to your site. This is included as part of the website builder, which comes with the Start plan. More info here: https://help.forento.io/en/articles/8031195-blogs-articles-on-your-website
7. Upgrading Plans: You can absolutely start small and scale up. If you're on AppSumo, just redeem additional codes to upgrade to a higher tier or refund a code if you want to adjust down. We're flexible, so you can find the right fit as your needs evolve.
Let me know if you want help picking the right plan or have follow-up questions. I'm happy to assist.

kontakt697PLUSHi Adrian.
Thank you so much for your answer.
I think I'll skip this one, since it's not possible to get the Commission-Free Option as a one-time payment.
I have the webinar part in my current subscription, so it would be a necessity since I use it a lot and don't want to have to pay for "another subscription".
Wishing you at great day
