You should know exactly what this costs
Two numbers, both printed here, neither of them a promotion. Move the slider, read your own figure, and check our claims against the competitors on the same page.
Platform fee
- When the donor tips
- 0%
- When they don’t
- 2%
When the donor tips, the tip covers card processing too, so you receive the entire donation. Without a tip, processing is passed through at cost.

The model
Two numbers, and the donor decides which one applies.
Every dollar lost to fees is a dollar that doesn’t reach the people you serve. Donors are offered an optional, clearly labelled tip that funds Givelayer. When they take it, it covers our fee and the card processing both, and the whole gift reaches you. When they don’t, you pay 2% and processing at cost. You never need a subscription to raise money.
0%
Platform fee, when the donor tips
The tip is optional, shown plainly, and always separate from the donation amount. Nothing about it is buried in a checkbox. The tip covers the card processing as well, so the whole donation reaches you.
2%
Platform fee, when they don’t
Still below what most donation platforms charge as their floor. No setup fee, no minimum commitment and no contract to leave.
The fees are the same on Free and Pro. Pro is optional and adds your own brand and more room, never the basics.

Estimate only. Assumes an average gift of $65. Card processing is included in every row that carries it. On the tipped Givelayer row the donor’s tip covers both the platform fee and the processing, which is why it reads zero. Card processing is shown at the nonprofit rate of 2.2% + $0.30, which registered US charities whose payments are mostly donations can apply for. Until the application is approved, or for an organisation that does not qualify, the standard rate of 2.9% + $0.30 applies. Your own rates may differ.
If your donors tip

a year stays with your mission, against a typical platform
Assumes every donor adds the tip. Gifts without one cost you 2% plus processing, shown in the second row.
How we compare
Honest comparison, no spin.
