Frequently Asked Questions
If it’s free, why are donors covering platform costs?
RallyUp lets you leverage the full potency of our platform without paying for it. It’s free to you. Some of your donors will tip RallyUp to help us empower you to create positive change in the world.
If you’d rather not present your donors with a tipping option, it’s easy to remove using RallyUp’s Advanced Pricing options.
What does donor tipping look like to a donor?
RallyUp presents donors with the opportunity to tip during checkout when making a donation.
These tips allow us to operate the platform and continually update it with the best in charity fundraising features.
Tipping works slightly differently for fundraising experiences that include raffles or sweepstakes. To learn more, see this Knowledge Base article titled Why Free Pricing Raffles and Sweepstakes Offer Extra Entries for Tips.
What is Advanced Pricing?
You can select Advanced Pricing options which eliminate donor tipping and offer additional flexibility. With Advanced Pricing, RallyUp charges a platform fee and a payment processing fee for each transaction. To learn more, view this Knowledge Base article titled Advanced Pricing.
What’s the difference between payment processing fees and the platform fee?
Payment Processing Fees
Payment processors, such as Stripe and PayPal, accept a variety of payment types for donor contributions. This way, your donors can easily contribute using their preferred method of payment. For this service, they charge a processing fee on each transaction. Fees can vary from 1.99% + $0.45 to 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. 501(c)3 organizations can apply to the payment processor to receive a nonprofit discount.
RallyUp does not receive any portion of the payment processing fees, and we do not add any charges for payment processing. You pay exactly what the processor charges, and nothing more.
Platform Fee
If you select Advanced Pricing, you’ll be charged a 7.5% platform fee on each transaction instead of asking donors to leave a tip. However, you can still customize how this fee is covered.
How can I get the discounted processing fee?
The payment processor sets the processing fees. Most transactions use Stripe. Qualifying 501(c)3 organizations can apply to Stripe for a discounted processing fee.
RallyUp will soon offer PayPal as well for payment processing. 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that apply to PayPal and are approved will receive a discounted processing fee.
Is Free Pricing available for all fundraising activities (raffles, sweepstakes, a-thons, auctions etc.)?
Free Pricing is available in all scenarios except in the case where you are only running an auction and nothing else. Because donor tipping does not apply to auctions, a platform fee is charged.
What happens if donors don’t tip enough to cover platform costs? Does my organization have to cover the rest?
Absolutely not. Free Pricing is free regardless of the total amount tipped by donors. You pay us nothing.
Is there a fee discount for high-value auction items?
Yes! All auctions have a fee cap of $100 per item, regardless of how much an item sells for. You don’t have to do anything to enable this. It’s built-in. This ensures that your organization pays only a capped amount. Beyond that, you keep all the proceeds from the sale of a high-value auction item.
Are there subscription fees?
No. RallyUp doesn’t have subscription costs, contracts, or up-front fees. Our platform is free by default.
If you choose to use Advanced Pricing options, we charge a platform fee. Even then, you still have no subscription costs, contracts, or up-front fees. You pay for our platform only when you use it and only for the amount that you use it.
How do I change my plan?
With RallyUp, you don’t have a plan. You are not locked in to either the Free Pricing option or the Advanced Pricing option. You decide which to use for each fundraising experience at the time you create it. Pricing is then set for that experience.
