Card processors have collected $0 in fees from U.S. businesses since you opened this page. Illustrative — U.S. businesses pay over $170B a year in card fees (Nilson Report)
Every payment you take or make, they take a cut

You're paying 3% for the privilege of getting paid — or paying for services.

Stripe, Square, and PayPal skim every transaction, and that cost lands on everyone — built into prices or added at checkout. AxeFee takes $0 in fees: businesses keep 100%, and Zelle costs the customer nothing extra.

Who's bleeding the most

Built for the people fees hurt most.

Nonprofits & communities

A 3% skim on donations means $3,000 of every $100K raised never reaches your mission. Donations, tickets, and dues at $0 fees — with IRS-ready receipts. Free forever.

No donor "tips." Platforms like Zeffy pre-fill a donor tip — often a hefty percentage. AxeFee never asks your donors to tip us; every dollar goes to your cause.

Donations Event tickets Memberships & dues Employer matching
Small service businesses

On thin margins, card fees can eat 15–30% of your actual profit. Invoices, deposits, bookings, and recurring billing — money lands in your bank in minutes, never held.

The math: collecting $10K/month by card costs ~$320/month in processing. AxeFee Business is $29. You keep the other ~$290 — every single month, forever.
You never pay a dime before AxeFee has already earned it. You don't pay until you process 25+ payments in a month and AxeFee has clearly saved you more than it costs — always after the fact, never in advance.
🪙 Optional on every plan: sponsor income. Local sponsors pay for slots on your pages, receipts, and emails — you keep 50% of every sponsor dollar. Many orgs earn more from sponsors than they'd ever pay us.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Yes. You keep 100% of every dollar — no percentage fees on any plan. Starter is free forever, nonprofits get the full platform free, and Business is a flat $29/mo billed after the month (nothing upfront, no card on file). Cancel anytime.
Most pay by Zelle, straight from their bank app — fast, free, and final. You can also accept cards through your own processor alongside Zelle. Customers see both prices at checkout — the card price sits a little above the Zelle price, so you receive your full price either way. Read the guide →
Those apps are only free for personal use. Accepting money as a business requires a business account, and every one charges a fee — Venmo 1.9% + $0.10, Cash App 2.75%, PayPal ~3%. Zelle has no business-account fee tier, so you keep 100%. See the comparison →
Usually within minutes. Zelle moves money bank-to-bank, directly into your account — no platform balance, no payout schedule, and no processor holding a new account's funds for weeks. With AxeFee there's nothing to release, because we never held it.
Your funds never pass through AxeFee — payments go directly into your own bank account. AxeFee never touches or holds your money, and never stores your banking credentials.
Me — Pritom. Not a ticket queue, not a chatbot. I built AxeFee and I answer every message myself, usually the same day. If you're a nonprofit or community org, I'll even do the setup for you.
Yes. Nonprofits can turn on automatic donation receipts — every donor gets an IRS-ready acknowledgment with your organization's name and verified EIN, the amount and date, and the required "no goods or services were provided" statement. Quid-pro-quo disclosures are handled too.
Pritom Dey, founder of AxeFee
Through end of 2026 only

Hi, I'm Pritom Dey. I spent years volunteering for community orgs — watching ticket revenue bleed away to processing fees — so I built AxeFee to stop it. Through the end of 2026, I'm personally setting up every new organization myself: your forms, your checkout, your data. Free.

Send me a message Not a ticket queue. I answer every message myself, usually same day.
