At GiveNow, we’ve always worked hard to keep fees as low as possible.
There are two types of fees associated with a transaction on GiveNow:
- Credit Card Merchant fees: These reflect the payment type used by a donor: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX (available 5 days after cause approval), ApplePay, or direct debit.
- Platform fees: These correspond to the specific plan under which an organisation is registered with GiveNow. Each plan offers distinct features tailored to the organisation's needs.
There are no set-up fees or ongoing subscription fees.
