Pricing
The whole cost, upfront
Stripe's card fee is the only money that comes out of a donation. Read the whole breakdown below — there's no second page.
What MrsTubs takes
$0
Platform fee. We take nothing out of a gift.
How we get paid instead: donors can add an optional tip to MrsTubs.com at checkout. It's never pre-selected, and $0 is a normal answer.
Follow one gift, start to finish
Pick an amount. Every line below is computed by the same code that charges a real donor's card, so this page cannot say one thing while the checkout does another.
- Donor gives
- $50
- Donor chooses to cover Stripe's card fee
- +$1.43
- Donor's card is charged
- $51.43
- MrsTubs' cut of the donation
- $0
- The organization's own bank receives
- $50
If the donor does not cover the card fee, Stripe still takes it and the organization receives $48.60 instead. Either way MrsTubs never holds the money: it settles into the organization's own Stripe account and its own bank.
Card processing — the one real cost
Card processing goes to Stripe, not to us: 2.2% + 30¢ if your organization is enrolled in Stripe's nonprofit rate, 2.9% + 30¢ if it is not.
That's the same rate any Stripe account pays anywhere — it isn't a MrsTubs markup, and we don't add a cent to it. When a donor covers the processing fee at checkout, your organization keeps the full gift.
Those two tiers are named after Stripe enrollment, not after nonprofit status. MrsTubs runs no IRS or state check and does not verify whether an organization is a nonprofit. Enrollment is set by Stripe, not by us — ask your organization's Stripe account whether it is enrolled.
- Why does Stripe charge anything if MrsTubs doesn't?
-
Stripe is the company that actually moves the money and takes on the fraud risk. That fee is theirs, set by them, and it goes to them — we don't mark it up or take a cut of it.
Fees that do not exist
There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, no payout fee, and no fee to turn the donate button on. They are written here as absences rather than as a column of zeroes, because there is no code anywhere that charges them and therefore nothing a figure on this page could be read from.
The tip, explained honestly
The tip is how MrsTubs stays running. It shows up as an optional line at checkout, next to the donation amount — never bundled into it, never pre-checked, never required.
A donor who leaves it empty has paid exactly what they meant to pay, and nothing about their gift changes.
Every number we charge is on this page
No sales call required to learn what things cost — we know, that's unusual.
