A flat campaign fee. No PagePledge transaction fees.
Campaigns start at $500, with three pricing tiers based on the number of students in your campaign. Prices include a 50% early adopter discount, and your price is confirmed upfront. PagePledge charges no transaction fees. Your payment provider charges its own processing fees, which donors can choose to cover at checkout.

No PagePledge transaction fees. Square or Stripe processing fees are separate, and donors can choose to cover them. Prices shown include the 50% early adopter discount.
Your payment account, your donations.
Connect your school’s Square or Stripe account to receive donations. Square or Stripe charges its own card processing fees. PagePledge adds no transaction fees and charges only the flat campaign fee.
At checkout, donors can choose to cover the processing fees so their full donation can reach your school. If they don’t, the provider deducts its fees from the donation.

50%+
less administration time
Give your volunteers some time back.
In our experience, volunteers spend at least 50% less time administering the campaign with PagePledge than with the platforms we used before. That’s time back for the people who make the fundraiser happen.
Keep more of what your school raises.
Imagine your school raises $15,000 from 300 donations of $50. On PagePledge, 240 donors choose to cover processing fees. The school pays just $102 in processing fees on the remaining 60 donations. This example uses PagePledge’s $500 starting campaign fee.

Square charges $522 in total: the 240 donors covering fees add $1.75 each ($420), and the school pays $1.70 on each of the remaining 60 donations ($102).

That’s the difference in this example, after PagePledge’s $500 campaign fee and the school’s share of processing fees.
Example assumptions: Square’s standard Canadian online rate of 2.8% + 30¢ and 80% of donors covering processing fees on PagePledge. Those donors pay an extra $1.75 each, separate from the $15,000 raised. The PagePledge example uses the $500 starting tier; your campaign fee depends on student count. The competitor example assumes a 20% total fee including processing. Competitor pricing and donor choices vary.
