When donors cover the processing fee at checkout, 100% of every gift reaches your nonprofit. Enter your numbers to see it, with CoreCause's transparent interchange-plus rate shown in full.

What you'll actually pay

Interchange at cost, plus 0.50% + $0.15. That's the whole markup.

Interchange is what the card networks charge, and it is the same for us as it is for anyone. We pass it through without a markup and add one published rate on top. No blended percentage, no spread we keep quietly.

Your all-in rate depends on your card mix, average ticket, and volume. Any estimate shown here assumes a typical card mix, so treat it as an estimate, not a quote. Send a recent statement and we will tell you your actual number before you sign anything.

How the math works: interchange is set by the card networks (Visa, Mastercard, and others) and varies by card type and how the card is accepted, so your real interchange-plus cost depends on your actual card mix. The interchange field above is an editable estimate. Flat-rate defaults to a common online rate of 2.9% + $0.30. Enter your own rate to compare. Figures are estimates only and are not a quote.

Also taking payments in person?

CoreMobile turns any phone into a card reader. Bundle it with CoreCause and each product is $10/mo, so $20 together instead of $35.00.

Giving Calculator FAQs

Enter your monthly donation volume and average gift. With donor coverage on, it shows your cause keeping 100% of every gift; the interchange-plus fee your donors cover, and how it compares to a typical flat rate, is shown in full.
It's the interchange set by Visa and Mastercard (which no processor can change) plus a small fixed markup. CoreCause uses interchange + 0.50% + $0.15 per transaction.
Flat-rate is one predictable number per gift; interchange-plus passes through each card's true cost plus a fixed markup, which tends to favor higher volume and debit-heavy giving.
No, they are estimates. Interchange varies by card type, and the estimate excludes the monthly platform and texting fees.
No transaction fees when donors cover the processing fee, or turn that off for interchange-plus pricing (interchange + 0.50% + $0.15 per transaction). A monthly platform fee and texting fees apply, and you can build and explore for free before choosing a paid plan to accept donations.

Keep 100% of every gift.

CoreCause is transparent interchange-plus with no donor tipping and no contracts. When donors cover the fee, every dollar reaches your cause.
