Therefore, the total fee charged is a flat 4.5% plus a variable Transaction Charge based on the selected payment method.
This covers the ongoing development and running costs of idonate.
When processing payments, we provide a number of payment methods to donors, all of which result in a charge to idonate.
These payment methods include the standard Credit Card / Debit Card, PayPal, Google Pay or Apple
Pay. Some of these companies transaction charges are fixed and some are a percentage charge.
These Transaction Charges are as follows:
Credit Card / Debit Card /
Apple Pay / Google Pay: 1.4% + €0.25
PayPal: 1.9% + €0.35
Donors are given the option to cover the total fees. Over 90% of donors opt to cover the fees.
This results in the cause getting 100% of the donation amount.
All donations are transferred directly to each Cause on a monthly basis.
While other sites claim to offer a “free” service, they will charge a transaction fee on each donation. Some sites also set a default tip off
10% – 15% of the donation amount.
Additionally, some websites will charge charities monthly / yearly fees to be listed on their platform. idonate charge no such fees.
The average cost to Charities / Causes on donations via idonate is less than 1% as a result of donors being able to cover the fees.
idonate was established in 2011 to assist charities & non profits in fundraising. Our aim is to provide tools for both charities and fundraisers to help raise much needed funds.
