Our forms are customizable to suit any website, thanks to our form-builder (with some custom CSS, if you’re feeling brave).
You can ask donors to cover their processing fees in their donation. A great budget-saving feature.
We offer integrations with Mailchimp, Salesforce, and Zapier (along with Donorbox API access) to level up your fundraising game.
Donors have the choice of making weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual donations - perfect for securing regular funding that suits your donors.
Donors can donate using debit cards, credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal and low-fee ACH and SEPA bank payments.
Yep, no setup costs OR migration costs. And our low 1.5% platform fee makes it easy to get started. Start fundraising in 15 minutes!

Since implementing Donorbox as part of our toolkit, the number of monthly, recurring donors to Truthout has more than doubled currently, sustaining donations like these account for more than 20 percent of our annual budget.
Donorbox has allowed for greater visibility and opportunities to connect with new supporters, ultimately taking us one step closer towards reaching our annual fundraising goals.
While Stripe and PayPal are excellent payment processors that allow you to accept online transactions, they don't offer a specialized form to collect donations or store donor data. They also don't provide a good facility to manage recurring donations.
For more Donorbox features that are donation-specific and not offered by PayPal or Stripe, see our help article.
Like Stripe and PayPal with their payment processing fees, Donorbox deducts our platform fee directly from your donations. From each donation transaction, we automatically deduct the processing fee for Stripe and/or PayPal as well as our 1.5% platform fee.
This means you won’t need to worry about paying any invoices or settling your billing retroactively. See our help article for more details.
Both Stripe and PayPal offer a discounted payment processing rate for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits.

If you offer this cover fee option on your donation form, your donor may choose to include the donation processing fee as part of their donation. This fee includes both the payment processing fee from Stripe/PayPal and the Donorbox platform fee of 1.5%.
See our help article for more details.
Our Donorbox platform fee of 1.5% is capped at $25 for ACH bank payments. That means for an ACH bank donation that exceeds $1,667, the maximum platform fee we will charge for that donation is $25.
Since this is our platform fee, this is on top of Stripe’s payment processing fee of 0.8% (capped at $5) for ACH bank donations.
