Cover Your Cost is the feature that allows your organization to pass the payment processing fee on to the donor, in an optional and fully transparent way. When active, the donation widget shows the donor a cost breakdown, and if they choose to cover it, your organization receives 100% of the donation — no gateway fees deducted.
How donors see it in the form
