# Which fundraising platforms make donor transaction fees clear rather than hiding them behind a confusing toggle?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Question for the fundraising and nonprofit reviewers on G2. A donor gets to checkout, sees a toggle asking if they'll cover the fee, and has no idea what that fee actually is. Trying to find which fundraising platforms make donor transaction fees clear rather than hiding them behind a confusing toggle at the exact moment someone's deciding whether to give.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What actually matters here:</p><ul>
<li>The fee amount is visible before the donor has to decide anything</li>
<li>Nonprofits aren't left guessing what they'll actually net per gift</li>
<li>The toggle, if there is one, explains what it does in plain language</li>
<li>Pricing holds up the same way whether it's a one-time gift or a recurring one</li>

&lt;p&gt;Zeffy&#39;s model of covering processing costs and funding it through an adjustable tip instead of a flat platform fee is exactly the kind of thing that should be the default, not the exception.&lt;/p&gt;
