Where does your gift go?
Follow every dollar of one gift.
Some donation platforms ask donors for a tip to the platform.
GivJoy never does.
Type a gift into the receipt to see where every dollar goes, on two kinds of checkout.
- In developmentIllustrative. GivJoy pricing is planned; final details at launch.
- Every platform figure shows its source and the date we checked it.
One gift, two checkouts

The two checkouts on a $100.00 gift, written outThe same figures the calculator starts with, in tables.
1. GivJoy, donor covers fees
When a donor covers the fees, the extra is worked out from your usual card rate. A card that costs more to process can leave you a few cents short.
| Plan | Donor pays | Nonprofit receives | Tip | GivJoy's fee | Card processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (1%) | $104.33 | $100.00 | $0 | $1.00 | $3.33 |
| Pro (2%) | $105.36 | $100.00 | $0 | $2.00 | $3.36 |
2. GivJoy, donor doesn't cover fees
The donor unticks fee coverage, so card processing and GivJoy's fee come out of the gift. There is no tip.
| Plan | Donor pays | Nonprofit receives | Tip | GivJoy's fee | Card processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (1%) | $100.00 | $95.80 | $0 | $1.00 | $3.20 |
| Pro (2%) | $100.00 | $94.80 | $0 | $2.00 | $3.20 |
Card processing differs by tool. The page uses one example rate for every checkout: 2.9% + 30¢ per card gift. Where a platform pays card processing itself, the page says so instead of showing a figure.
Check your own checkout
See what your own donors are asked, in five steps
Step 1: Open a private window
Open your own donation page in a private browser window, so you see it the way a new donor does.
Step 2: Start a gift, don't pay
Pick an amount and go to the last step before payment. Stop there.
Step 3: Look for the tip line
Look for a tip or "support the platform" line, and note what it starts at before anyone changes it.
Step 4: Look for a card fee line
Look for a second line that adds card processing, and whether it starts ticked.
Step 5: Compare the total
Note the total, then type the same gift into the receipt above.
Why GivJoy has no tip
No tip, and no surprise. Just the fee you can see.
On tip-funded platforms your nonprofit often pays nothing. Donors' tips pay the platform.
On GivJoy your nonprofit pays a fee, or the donor covers it in dollars.
GivJoy charges your nonprofit a plain percentage you can calculate: nothing on Free, 1% on Starter and 2% on Pro, with no monthly bill.
Card processing is separate and paid on every plan.
At checkout, donors see the gift, the fees and the total before they pay.
Covering the fees starts ticked, is shown in dollars and takes one tap to remove. Nothing else is added.
