Free forever for nonprofits

Get paid in full.
$0 in fees.

Checkout forms, event tickets, invoices and a store for small businesses and nonprofits. Customers pay by Zelle or card, the money lands straight in your own bank account, and nobody takes a cut — not 2.9% from you, and not a pre-filled “tip” from your customer.

How it stays free

Zelle, made to work like a real checkout.

Banks don't charge to receive Zelle. AxeFee wraps it in forms, automatic matching, and receipts — professional polish, zero percentage.

STEP 1
Customer checks out
They fill your form — name, email, what they're paying for.
STEP 2
One-tap payment code
AxeFee gives them a unique code they copy in one tap — no typing.
STEP 3
They pay via Zelle
Paste the code in their bank's Zelle app and hit send. ~10 seconds.
STEP 4
Auto-matched, instantly
The payment matches itself to the order. Your dashboard flips to ✓ Confirmed.

Buyer prefers a card? The card price is a little higher than the Zelle price — both are shown before they pay — so you receive your full price either way.

We axe the fees between you and your customer.

A fee should be a decision, not a default someone else set for you.

What card fees cost you in a year.

Put in what you collect in a month. Whether you absorb the fee or pass it on to customers, somebody pays it — every payment, every month, forever.

On AxeFee there is no percentage fee at all. Customers who pay by Zelle pay exactly your price; card is there for whoever wants it.

Who feels it 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 — 17% on a $20 order. AxeFee never asks your donors to tip us; every dollar goes to your cause.

Donations Event tickets Memberships & dues Employer matching
Events & ticketed nights

Ticketing platforms take about 19% of a $15 ticket — roughly $570 gone on a 200-seat night. Sell on your own page, scan people in at the door, and the money is in your bank before the event, not a week after it.

The math: collecting $10K/month by card costs ~$320/month in processing. AxeFee Business is $39. You keep the other ~$290 — every single month, forever.
You never pay a dime before AxeFee has already earned it. Your first 25 payments every month are free, and beyond that you only pay once 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 for your first 25 payments each month, then 30¢ a payment, nonprofits get the full platform free, and Business is $39/mo (or $350/year) 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.
