How much of the donation will go to my charity?

The current fee structure for payments is as follows:

We have negotiated reduced transaction fee terms with Stripe from 2.9% down to 2.2%. Additionally, Stripe has generously agreed to waive their 2.2% transaction fee for the first $15,000 worth of donations PER nonprofit! Smaller transactions such as the $1 donation, will have a higher fee structure due to the payment provider's transaction fee. GoodBookey will not exceed the fee structure as shown, without written notification to participating charities. We reserve the right to waive the 3% fee for GoodBookey.

What will this cost my charity?

A small amount of time for setup by your administration is required. However, there are no fees for the charity to pay.

When will I receive the funds?

How will I know what amount will be provided to my charity?
