Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our pricing model.
Do we really keep 100% of every dollar raised?
Yes, 100%! We charge zero platform fees AND we cover all credit card processing fees. When a donor pays $100, you receive $100. We sustain our platform through optional tips that donors can choose to leave at checkout—but those tips never come from your funds.
How can you afford to cover processing fees?
Our optional tip model allows donors who appreciate our platform to support us directly. Many donors are happy to tip when they learn that 100% of their auction payment goes to the organization they're supporting. It's a win-win: you get more, and donors feel great about their impact.
How does the optional tip work?
At checkout, donors see an optional prompt to tip CharityAuctions. Donors can easily adjust or remove the tip with one click—they have full control. Whether or not someone tips, 100% of auction proceeds go to your organization with no fees deducted.
Are tips really optional for donors?
Absolutely. Tips are completely optional—donors can easily adjust or remove them with one click. We make it clear that tipping is a choice, not a requirement, and many donors appreciate the opportunity to support a platform that puts nonprofits first.
What if donors don't tip? Will that affect our service?
Not at all. Whether donors tip or not has zero impact on your organization's experience. You get the same full-featured platform, same support, and 100% of your auction proceeds regardless. Our commitment to you doesn't depend on tip revenue.
How much do we save compared to other platforms?
Most platforms charge 3-8% platform fees plus 2.9% + $0.30 processing fees. On a $10,000 auction, that's $500-$1,100 lost to fees. With CharityAuctions, you keep the full $10,000. The savings add up quickly for organizations running multiple events.
What payment methods do you support?
CharityAuctions supports all major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers. All payment processing is secure and PCI compliant—and all processing fees are covered by us.
How quickly do we receive our funds?
Funds are typically available for withdrawal within 7-14 business days after your auction ends. For larger events, we offer expedited processing options. And remember, you receive 100% of what was raised, with nothing deducted.
Are there limits on auction items or bidders?
No limits! You get unlimited auction items, unlimited bidders, and unlimited auction value. Create as many items as you need and invite as many bidders as you want—all completely free with 100% of proceeds going to you.
What features are included?
Everything you need for a successful auction: mobile bidding platform, real-time notifications, custom branding, analytics dashboard, payment processing, customer support, and more. All features are included with no fees taken from your proceeds.
