Moving forward, every donation made through the GiveGab platform will have a flat credit card fee of 2.2% + 30 cents! Before this change, there was a higher fee of 3.5% + 30 cents for anyone using American Express. Now, the total fees will be 6.3% + $0.30 per transaction regardless of credit card type.
