Every dollar
reaches your cause.

No transaction fees. Donors cover the processing fee at checkout, so the full gift lands in your account and your cause keeps 100%. Turn that off for interchange-plus pricing. A monthly platform fee and texting fees apply.

How it works

Three steps to a full gift

STEP 01

A donor gives

They choose an amount on your branded giving page, one-time or recurring, card or bank, in seconds.

STEP 02

Donors cover the fee

At checkout, a toggle lets the donor add the processing fee on top of their gift. You set whether it is optional or required, and it is never a platform tip.

STEP 03

Your cause keeps 100%

The full gift lands in your account with next-day payouts, and an automated receipt goes straight to the donor.

Straight talk on pricing

No transaction fees

By default, donors cover the processing fee at checkout, so 100% of every gift reaches your organization and you pay no transaction fees. Prefer to absorb them yourself? Turn it off and it is interchange-plus pricing. A monthly platform fee and texting fees apply either way.
