To support as many nonprofits and clubs as possible, Springly offers a 100% free version of its platform. The free plan lets nonprofits and clubs harness technology to run more efficiently — so they can spend more time and energy on what matters most: their mission.
This article walks you through what's included in this plan:
Key benefits for your nonprofit
With the free plan, you can accept sign-ups through your Membership Campaigns or Donation Campaigns — regardless of the payment method used. And it's completely free and easy to use.
- Offer 100% secure online payments for a smoother experience
- Multiple payment methods supported: credit card, one-time or installment, check, cash, wire transfer, sports vouchers, etc.
- Track member activity with your CRM (contact relationship management)
- Choose between payment fees and voluntary tips for online payments
Managing Tips or Payment Fees
Two compensation methods are available:
Payment Fees: Your nonprofit covers the transaction fees (1.8% + $0.25).
Tip: For a 100% free service, encourage your members to leave a voluntary tip.
How do you choose between a tip and payment fees?
When setting up your e-wallet, you'll have two options:
- Enable the tip feature
- Use payment fees
If you already set up your e-wallet before this feature was introduced, you can update your choice under Settings > Online Payment:
A nonprofit can switch its compensation method at any time. The change will apply to future transactions only.
How does the tip work?
At the Payment step, Springly will suggest a tip to the buyer. The suggested amount is calculated based on the order total and ranges between $0.25 and $25.
Example for a $10 membership fee
At checkout, Springly suggests a tip of $2.35:
Buyers can adjust the amount by clicking Edit My Tip, or choose not to leave a tip at all.
For installment payments, the tip is split across all installments. It's added on top of the original order amount.
Example:
If my order total is $150 with a $4 tip, my payment schedule will be:
- 1st installment: $51.34 (including $1.34 tip)
- 2nd installment: $51.33 (including $1.33 tip)
- 3rd installment: $51.33 (including $1.33 tip)
A confirmation email is sent to the member with the full payment breakdown: transaction amount and tip.
Tips are not available for offline payments (check, cash, wire transfer).
If the original order is refunded, Springly does not refund the tip to the buyer.
