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

Built around how community organizations actually collect money.

🎟️

Event ticketing

Tiered pricing, family/sponsor bundles, multi-day festivals, per-day tickets, and capacity limits.

❤️

Donations & employer matching

Take donations with optional tips, and let donors route gifts through their employer's matching program.

🪪

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.

Your money, in minutes

Zelle lands directly in your bank account — no platform balance, no weekly payouts, no new-charity holds. Some processors hold a new nonprofit's donations for up to 45 days; AxeFee never holds them at all.

Verified Non-Profit badge

Submit your EIN and show a trust badge on your checkout and receipts so donors know they're in the right place.

📊

Submissions & exports

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

📣

Member list & email blasts

Import your member list (CSV) and email everyone — announcements and event blasts, built in, with unsubscribe handled for you.

Payments match themselves

Every payment is automatically matched to the right person and order — no more volunteer spreadsheet nights after the event.

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 its own reference, and AxeFee automatically matches each incoming Zelle payment to the right order and marks it paid — so you stop reconciling by hand. There's a quick one-time connection during setup (about 2 minutes), and after that it just runs.

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.

How fast do we get the money?

Within minutes, typically. Zelle is a bank-to-bank transfer straight into your organization's account — AxeFee never holds or routes your funds, so there's no payout schedule and no new-charity verification hold to wait out.

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.
