Kindest uses Stripe for secure processing, which charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. We apply a platform fee of up to 5%, depending on your plan and transaction volume. Our donation form is optimized to encourage donors to cover fees, and 93% do—so nonprofits typically receive the full donation amount.
