Charities can choose a 0% platform fee model, where donors may add a voluntary contribution, or a model where donors cover a 5% platform fee and card costs. A separate site, idonate.com, sells quote-based packages priced by digital revenue; this entry covers the Irish site and fees only.

Donor cover fee model: 5% platform fee that donors can elect to cover, plus transaction fees of 1.4% + €0.25 (1.9% + €0.35 for PayPal). Crowdfunders: 0% platform fee and 1.95% + €0.25. The US-facing idonate.com site publishes no prices and says packages are quoted based on digital revenue.
