When it comes to fees, we keep it simple. Since our inception, we set out to make group organizers’ lives easier. That means avoiding fees. On Cheddar Up, group organizers can always collect indefinitely for zero setup, monthly or transactional fees. Collecting on Cheddar Up is always free.
By default, payers pay a convenience fee of 3.5% + $0.45. If your community needs more options, organizers can turn on additional payment methods including:
- An echeck, which has a convenience fee of a flat $0.45
- Cash/check, which is free
