How it works for your organization

If your members already pay you by Zelle, you already know the hard part — the manual matching. AxeFee does that for you.

1

Build a checkout form

Event tickets (with tiers, family packs, multi-day passes), a donation page, or a membership signup — in minutes, no code.

2

Share one link or QR

Post it in your WhatsApp group, newsletter, or flyer. Members pay by Zelle (or card) — no app to download.

3

Payments reconcile themselves

AxeFee matches each Zelle payment to the right order automatically and confirms it. Scan tickets at the door with your phone.

Everything you need to run events & fundraisers

Memberships & dues

Sell yearly memberships, then give members automatic discounts or free seats at future events.

📲

QR check-in at the door

Scan guests in from your phone — paid, free, or RSVP — with a confirmation step before check-in.

Submissions & exports

A live spreadsheet of every registration with CSV / Excel export — dietary needs, t-shirt sizes, anything you ask.

Free forever for nonprofits

Most processors take ~2.9% + 30¢ of every ticket and donation. On a $10,000 event that's nearly $300 gone. With AxeFee's Non-Profit plan, transactions are unlimited and free — funded by optional donor tips, not by taking a cut of your cause.

Common questions

Do our members need to download an app?

No. They pay with the Zelle that's already built into their banking app — or by card if you turn that on. They just open your link, fill out the form, and send the payment. Nothing to install.

Is it really free for nonprofits?

Yes. The Non-Profit plan has unlimited free transactions and no percentage fees. It's funded by optional tips donors can add to AxeFee at checkout — never by taking a cut of your tickets or donations.

How does the automatic matching work?

Every order gets a unique code. When a member sends their Zelle, your bank emails you a notification; you forward those to AxeFee once (a 2-minute setup), and we match each payment to the right order and mark it paid — so you stop reconciling by hand.

Do we have to be a registered 501(c)(3)?

You can start immediately on the free Starter plan. To unlock the unlimited Non-Profit plan and the Verified badge, you submit your EIN for a quick review.

Can we accept cards too, not just Zelle?

Yes — connect your own Stripe account and a card option appears at checkout. Zelle stays the $0-fee default; cards are there for the people who need them.

What about big fundraising galas with large totals?

Zelle works best for ticket- and donation-sized amounts. For very large single gifts, cards (or a payment schedule) cover the gap. Most community events fit Zelle perfectly.
