This\u00a0website addresses this problem quickly and simply and is free to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><br \/>Any business or individual can create a free account on the web site. This will create\u00a0a listing for their business on www.inthistogether.ie which they can share to their customers and followers who can then buy &#8220;Vouchers of Support&#8221; for the business.\u00a0Excluding standard payment processor\u00a0fees, 100% of all payments\u00a0go directly and automatically to\u00a0each company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a &#8220;Voucher of Support&#8221;?<br \/><\/strong>It&#8217;s whatever you need it to be. It can be treated as a gift voucher to be redeemed at some point in the future or it can be simply a gift or token of support for a business at a time of great need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who can participate?<br \/><\/strong>Anyone with an existing business or activity through which they generate income. While our focus is to help Irish businesses, any business regardless of location is free to use the site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did\u00a0we\u00a0build this?<br \/><\/strong>We&#8217;re not healthcare professionals or virologists but everyone has a part to play to contribute to the well being of\u00a0our communities.
