What to know about 99Pledges

Card processing still applies

The modeled flow has no platform fee, but card-processing costs are deducted before your group receives the funds.

Donation count affects cost

The formula includes a fixed charge for each donation, so more transactions can change the result.

Optional tips stay separate

Optional donor tips go directly to 99Pledges. They do not increase what your group receives, and the calculator does not estimate them.
