We get a lot of questions about how our pricing works. The Givelify mobile giving app is free for donors to download and use. Churches and charities do not pay any setup or monthly fees.
But processing transactions costs money, so there are charges involved. We set our fees as low as possible to ensure that accepting donations is accessible to our member organizations.
Our Pricing: 2.9% + $0.30
That’s it. The formula is simple. The processing fee is taken straight off the top of each donation, and the donor gets credit for the full amount. Organizations are only charged when donations are made.
We like to give easy-to-understand examples when people ask for an explanation.
Pop Quiz Time!
We decided to have a little fun around the office. Walle and Matt went head-to-head game show style to see who was the master of calculating our transaction fees.
With that, enjoy the heated competition and the hilarity of the Givelify Pop Quiz.

March 23, 2020 at 8:31 pmI have an issue with the fact that the church has to incur this fee and not receive the FULL amount of the donation/offering and there’s NO option given to charge the fee to the giver or allow the church to choose to pay the fees separately…. WHY is this NOT an option????

March 23, 2020 at 9:41 pmHi Bishop Nesby. I’m sorry you feel that way.
Givelify does not charge any signup or monthly fees, and there are no hidden costs like overages, minimums, or support charges. Our small 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee helps us cover the cost of processing each electronic transaction, maintaining a secure and safe environment for your transactions, and improving features and benefits of the donation app.
In addition, we are rolling out the capability for donors to cover the transaction fee later this year.
We’re trusted by over 27,000 organizations throughout the United States, and we are the most-downloaded, highest-rated, and most-used giving platform. We’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please call us at 317-663-3088 and one of our team members will gladly address your concerns.
