What does it cost to run a fundraiser on Raised in Australia?
Reviewed . Read as Markdown
Raised has no setup fee or monthly subscription in Australia. Card payments carry a standard 5% platform fee plus Stripe processing fees. For product fundraisers using inclusive pricing, fees are built into the prices supporters see. Donation fees come out of the donation unless the donor chooses to cover them. An organisation can also choose to absorb card fees.
How do product fundraising prices work?
With inclusive product pricing, supporters see a price that already includes fees. For local cards, this is designed to leave the organisation's base price after fees. Cards issued overseas can cost more, reducing what the organisation receives. Supplier costs and other campaign expenses still need to be paid.
Australian product campaigns using inclusive pricing are card only. Cash and bank transfer are available if the organisation chooses to absorb card fees instead. Confirm the settings on your own campaign before telling supporters how they can pay.
How do donation fees differ?
Donations do not have a product price to build fees into. By default, fees are deducted from the donation, and the donor can choose to cover them. Do not use a product pricing example to promise what every donation will pay out.
The published online local-card rate is 1.7% plus A$0.30 per transaction, in addition to the standard 5% platform fee. For an illustrative A$100 donation with fees absorbed, that is A$5.00 platform fee and A$2.00 processing, leaving A$93.00. Other cards or payment channels can differ; this is an example, not a personalised quote.
Where should we check before launching?
Read the current regional pricing and Australian help article, then review the campaign's fee and payment settings. Crowdfunding campaigns are card only. For product campaigns, include supplier and fulfilment costs when deciding your fundraising target.
