GoFundMe Pay: Trusted nonprofit payment platform

Classy Pay has been rebranded as GoFundMe Pay as part of our transition to GoFundMe Pro. This change reflects our shift to a unified payment platform that powers both nonprofit and consumer fundraising experiences.

GoFundMe Pay serves as the payment infrastructure connecting nonprofits to trusted third-party payment processors, like Stripe, while offering more giving options to supporters. It also enables nonprofits to seamlessly link payments and reporting across GoFundMe and GoFundMe Pro.

While the name has changed, the seamless payment experience you rely on remains the same—now integrated under the trusted GoFundMe platform.

GoFundMe Pay secures all donor payments with intelligent fraud protection, analyzing user behavior in real time to block suspicious activity and reduce fraud before it occurs.

Yes. For nonprofits using GoFundMe Pro, all GoFundMe donations will appear in transaction reports, labeled as “GoFundMe,” and be visible in your CRM.

Credit card transactions on GoFundMe Pro typically incur a standard processing fee of 2.4% + $0.30 per transaction, though some customers may qualify for lower rates. PayPal and Venmo transactions start at 2.5% + $0.30. Donations made directly on GoFundMe have no platform fee—just a standard 2.2% + $0.30 processing fee through GoFundMe Pay.

Please be aware of an additional 1% fee for donations made with American Express.
