How much does Pledzy take from a campaign?

5% of each pledge — 3% for verified nonprofits — plus card processing of 2.9% and 30¢ per pledge paid to the payment provider.

The detail

Backers pay exactly what they pledge. The fees come out of the business's payout, so a $100 pledge leaves about $91.80 for a regular business and $93.80 for a verified nonprofit.

There is no listing fee, no subscription and no charge for a campaign that never launches or never raises anything.
