ChurchSuite and their affiliated platforms charge small fees to process donations. Please see below for more details. 

ChurchSuite will give you the option of covering those fees on our behalf - this is completely optional. 

Direct debit (inc. one-off gifts): One-off and recurring Direct Debit donations accepted through ChurchSuite Donate are subject to a 2% transaction fee + 20p + VAT per transaction. The transaction fee consists of two parts - a 1% + 20p + VAT transaction fee to GoCardless (capped at a maximum of £4 + VAT) and a 1% application fee (inclusive of VAT) to ChurchSuite (capped at £2). For transactions of £2,000 or more, GoCardless charge an additional 0.1% + VAT fee on the portion of the transaction above the £2,000 threshold.

Card payments: One-off and recurring card payments accepted through ChurchSuite via Stripe are subject to a 2.2% + 20p (no cap) transaction fee for European cards, and 3.9% +20p for non-European cards. The transaction fee deducted consists of two parts - a 1.2% + 20p transaction fee (or 2.9% + 20p for non European card) to Stripe and a 1% transaction fee to ChurchSuite. 

We would recommend using the 'Direct Debit' option which general incur lower uncapped fees.
