Processing fees: Up to 6.9% + 30¢ per transaction

Platform fees : From $125/month up to $200/month billed annually

‍

Flipcause operates on a subscription-based pricing model with two main plans:

Starter Plan: $125 per month, billed annually, for organizations with annual revenue up to $100,000.
Growing Plan: $200 per month, billed annually, for organizations with annual revenue over $100,000.

Flipcause charges a transaction fee of 6.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Donors using their platform have the option to cover these fees, and according to Flipcause, over 90% choose to do so, resulting in an effective transaction rate that typically does not exceed 1.5%.
