Some well-known platforms are claiming to be 'free for nonprofits' but still leave nonprofits with no choice but to pay registration fees, card fees, Gift Aid fees, monthly fees and high bank fees - while supporters are asked for 'tips' that go directly to the platform.
We believe fees should be transparent. There are no sign up or ongoing monthly charges, and you only incur fees when you get donations. Here's how our fees stack up for each payment method:
| Payment method | Payment processing fixed fee | Payment processing percentage fee | Platform fixed fee | Platform percentage fee |
