  Classy (transitioning to GoFundMe Pro) sells the fundraising platform to
  nonprofit organizations, not the API by itself - API access is included
  with a paid Classy/GoFundMe Pro subscription rather than metered or sold
  separately. Classy publishes two tiers: an Essentials plan with zero
  subscription/setup fees for nonprofits under $1M in annual revenue, and a
  Custom plan (contact sales) for larger nonprofits over $1M in annual
  revenue with assisted onboarding. Both tiers include the core product
  suite - unlimited campaigns and donation forms, recurring giving, GoFundMe
  Pay processing, marketing analytics, the donor dashboard, campaign
  templates, fraud protection, and an integrations hub - with the
  developer/API access documented at developers.classy.org (now
  developers.gofundme.com/pro) as part of that same account. Optional
  add-ons (Giving Cart, Live Events, Salesforce/CRM integrations, connected
  accounts for federated organizations) carry additional fees on either
  tier, and payment processing (GoFundMe Pay) and platform transaction fees
  apply on top of the subscription per-transaction.
notes: >-
  Exact platform/transaction fee percentages are set per contract and are
  not published as a flat rate; third-party estimates place Classy's
  historical platform fee in the roughly 2-5% range plus payment processor
  fees, on top of any subscription cost. Verify current rates and add-on
  pricing directly with GoFundMe Pro sales during reconciliation.
