Details
Donors Pay Fees overcomes one of the biggest annoyances of online fundraising: the fees charged by the gateways. Both PayPal and Stripe take 2.9% (plus a 30 cent fee) from you for every donation. This can add up very quickly, and all that money lost is money you can’t use for your good works.
How Donors Pay Fees work is by adding the amount of the fee to the total amount of the donor’s donation. Fees are still paid, but you can accept the full amount the donor intended you to have. For example, if a donor gifts you $1,000, you would normally only get $971. But with Donors Pay Fees, the donor would pay $1,029.30 and you would get the full $1,000 donation.
