Donorbox has been instrumental in facilitating our online donations. With seamless integration into our website and easy to use features and functionality, we have been extremely pleased as an organization and would recommend Donorbox to any non profit organization looking to streamline campaign efforts.

Donorbox hit everything we were required in our fundraising software, plus your platform incorporated features we asked for in our early discussions. Now we are seeing everything we wanted and these modifications are more ice cream on the pie.

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.

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 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.
