Bundling hides the real cost and marks up money that is not ours. Stripe charges your own account directly at standard rates, and verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits can qualify for Stripe Charitable Giving. We never touch it, so we never quote it as ours.
They're two separate things. "No markup on Stripe" means we never inflate Stripe's own rate — Stripe charges your connected account directly at their standard pricing (2.9% + $0.30 for cards, or 2.2% + $0.30 if you qualify for Stripe's charitable rate), and that goes straight to Stripe, not us. The Studio fee is our platform fee, shown separately and clearly: 2.5% per card on Free, 0.5% per card on Paid (ACH is 0.5% on Free, 0.1% on Paid). That's the only fee Studio charges, and it's how we keep the free tier genuinely free instead of locking payments behind a subscription. So on any transaction you pay Stripe's rate plus the Studio fee — never Stripe's rate marked up, and never a hidden cut on top.
