New Feature Release: Contributors Cover Processing Fees 

We’re excited to announce a new enhancement to our Fundraising module for our GZ Pay customers* that allows contributors to cover processing fees when making contributions. This feature is available starting today March 4, 2025.

*Note: This option is only available for GZ Pay gateways.

Why This Matters 

• Many contributors expressed interest in covering processing fees to ensure their full contribution goes directly to the organization.
• By giving contributors this option, organizations can maximize contributions and remove potential barriers for giving.
  
  

Key Benefits 

• Maximizes Contributions – Contributors can ensure the full intended amount goes directly to the organization.
• Seamless User Experience – A simple, one-click option integrated into the checkout process.
• Enhanced Transparency – This update enhances transparency and empowers contributors to make a bigger impact with a seamless, integrated experience.

How It Works 

• Enable the Feature – In the Fundraising settings under Billing and Checkout, select the option to allow contributors to cover processing fees.
• Customize Fee Settings – Choose an existing processing fee item or create a new one, then set the fee percentage.

• Automated Checkout Display – The checkout screen will automatically update the total contribution when this option is selected.

Reporting Updates 

To make reconciliation easier, we’ve added:
