  Fundraise Up does not sell tiered software plans or charge a separate fee for
  the REST API. Its business model is a single transaction-based platform fee
  taken as a percentage of each processed donation - a standard 4% on money
  donations and 5% on cryptocurrency donations - with no setup fees, no monthly
  platform fees, and no contracts. Payment processor fees (Stripe, PayPal, or
  Gemini) are charged separately on top of the Fundraise Up fee. Donors can
  optionally cover these fees at checkout, which most do, so the effective net
  cost to the organization is often well below the headline rate. The REST API
  is included for account holders at no extra charge; an API key is created in
  the dashboard under Settings > API keys.
notes: >-
  Percentages are the publicly advertised standard rates and should be verified
  during reconciliation on the Fundraise Up pricing page; nonprofit-discounted
  processor rates and negotiated terms can differ.
