A donation can include two kinds of fees:

Platform fee (Sharity)

A percentage Sharity takes on the gift, based on your plan (defaults; your invoice is source of truth):

  • Free — 3%

  • Spark — 1.5%

  • Starter and Growthno platform fee

Stripe processing (pass-through)

What Stripe charges to move money. Typical card estimate is about 2.9% + $0.30. ACH Direct Debit is typically 0.8%, capped at $5.

Sharity does not mark up Stripe’s processing. The donor’s card or bank statement shows your organization via the statement descriptor you set in Settings → Organization.

SaaS subscription pricing (what you pay monthly for Sharity) is separate — see Plans and limits.
