At GiveNow we have always worked really hard to keep fees down.
Since December 2019 GiveNow has had two fee types associated with a transaction on GiveNow:
- Credit Card Merchant fees: these reflect the payment type used by a donor: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX (only available after 5 days from cause approval), ApplePay or direct debit.
- Platform fees: these reflect the plan that an organisation is registered with on GiveNow. The different plans have different features available to an organisation.
There are no set-up fees or ongoing subscription fees.
