No fees, no tip requests
Some donation platforms take a fee or ask your donors to tip them. Payly does neither. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees, as they would on any platform.

Why Payly
Donors can cover the fee
Switch on a box that lets donors add the processing fee to their gift, so more of each gift reaches you. Payly fills in the standard rate for your country, and you can change it.
A goal bar on the form
Set a fundraising goal, and the form shows a progress bar with the amount raised and, if you like, the number of donors.
How donation forms work in Payly
You set the amounts and the goal. PayPal or Stripe collects each gift.

Honest answers
Is Payly really free for donations?
Yes. There is no monthly fee, no platform fee and no tip request. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on each gift, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
How does the cover-the-fee box work?
When you switch it on, donors can tick a box to add the processing fee to their gift. Payly fills in the standard rate for your country, the higher of PayPal's and Stripe's when you take both. You can change it, for example if you have a nonprofit rate.
Do donors get a receipt?
Yes. Every gift, monthly ones included, gets a donation receipt by email with the amount, the date and a receipt number. Add your tax ID and a note of your own, and they show on every receipt. When a payment was only a gift, the receipt says no goods or services were provided.
Can donors give every month?
Yes. Choose whether donors can give once, monthly or yearly. PayPal or Stripe charges each payment on schedule, straight to your account.
Do I need a store?
No. A donation form is a site of its own, with no cart, products or shipping. Stores and forms can share one Payly account.
How many donation forms can I have?
Each form runs in your own Cloudflare account, like a store. Cloudflare's free plan holds up to 100 forms in one account, fewer if it also holds stores. Its $5 a month plan holds up to 500, paid to Cloudflare. Payly stays free either way. What the free plan covers
What is not included?
Year-end tax summaries, fundraising pages for supporters to share, and placing a form inside another website are not supported. For a gift in memory or in honor, the form asks who to tell, and you let them know.
