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)

We axe the fees between you and your customer.

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

Every payment you take or make, they take a cut

You or your customer pays 3% to 20%+. Either way, it never reaches you.

Card processors take about 3%. Eventbrite takes 19% of a $15 ticket. Zeffy pre-fills a 17% “tip” on a $20 order. One way or another it lands on your customer — added at checkout, or asked of them directly, on a page with your name at the top. AxeFee takes $0 in fees and asks your customers for nothing: you keep 100%, and Zelle costs them nothing extra.

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, 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.
