On top of selling tickets, you can allow your patrons to make donations when checking out or separately via the 

 tab on your ticketing portal. This is a great way to receive extra money from supportive patrons.

Allowing donations is always at your discretion and is a functionality that you can turn on/off at any time.

Donations are different in comparison to ticket sales. By law, we're not allowed to pass fees onto patrons when they make a donation. If a patron makes a $10 donation, then their card will be charged a flat $10.

For your program, the donation fee is simply what we're charged for credit card processing which is: 3.5% + $0.50 / transaction. For example, if a patron makes a $10 donation, you'll receive $9.15. 

Can patrons be asked to cover the fees for Donations?

 Donations made through the Fundraising page do ask patrons if they would like to cover the processing fees for the donations.  

Donations made as part of any other order (like a donation made during a ticket order) do not currently offer this ability.

 for your portal, you are able to collect donations on both the patron side and the admin side. 

Donations can be collected at checkout, or a separate transaction (by selecting the "Donate" tab).

This depends on how you choose to receive ticket sales proceeds. 

, then donations will simply be donated to your bank account on the schedule you set along with your ticket sales.

 at the end of your events, we send a separate donation check to you at the beginning of every month for the previous month's donations.
