One £10 fee per campaign, only after it raises £200. Never per donation, and never taken from your funds.

Stripe’s card fee comes out of each payment automatically.

More about this plan’s fees

The £10 is due once your campaign has raised £200 from squares (tips don’t count). Outside the UK, it’s the equivalent of £200. We charge it to the card you save when you publish. If that payment isn’t sorted within 14 days, the campaign pauses new sponsorships until it is. Money already raised isn’t affected.

Stripe’s card fee comes out of every payment, including the first. Stripe may also charge for refunds, disputes or currency conversion.

At checkout, supporters can choose to add a tip to GoodGrid. Nothing is pre-selected. Tips go to GoodGrid, not your campaign, and don’t count towards your total or the £200. Stripe’s fee applies to the whole payment, tip included.

Card processing fees

Stripe takes its fee from each payment before the money reaches you, so there’s nothing to pay up front. It’s the standard cost of accepting card payments.

How these figures work

These are Stripe’s published standard rates for those account countries and card types (checked 17 October 2026), not a quote for every payment. Your Stripe account agreement and the card used decide the actual fee. Premium or international cards, currency conversion, banking, refunds and disputes can change it.

GoodGrid is operated from the UK and supports campaign amounts in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, SGD, HKD, JPY. Currency support does not mean every country or organiser is eligible.

Check Stripe’s country availability and the pricing for your account.

*GoodGrid’s example assumes an Irish Stripe account, standard EEA cards and Stripe’s published Irish standard rate. GoodGrid’s separate campaign fee remains £10 GBP, and applies once the qualifying threshold is reached. Premium or international cards, currency conversion, banking, refunds and disputes can change costs. Charity pricing and other fee models are not compared. Check eligibility and account terms.

Running a campaign outside the UK?

Campaign amounts can be set in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, SGD, HKD, JPY. This doesn’t mean every country or organiser is eligible, so check Stripe’s country availability and the relevant Stripe pricing.

GoodGrid’s £10 campaign fee and £9/month subscription are billed separately in GBP, even when your campaign uses another currency, and your card provider may charge for conversion. The £200 threshold is a GBP equivalent, not a fixed EUR 200 or USD 200.

GoodGrid, clearly

Questions before you start?

Is there a catch?
No. Publishing is free and we take no percentage of what you raise. On the free plan, there’s one £10 fee when your campaign reaches £200. Stripe’s processing fees also apply; other payment costs are explained below. (Our terms call the £10 a “success fee”.)
What do supporters get?
A square on your grid with their name on it. You choose how many squares there are and the minimum amount per square, and supporters can always give more.
How do supporters pay?
By debit or credit card, through Stripe’s secure checkout. Other ways to pay may appear depending on your Stripe account.
Can I cancel the monthly plan?
Yes, at any time from your billing page. You keep the plan’s benefits until the end of the month you’ve paid for. After that, each campaign keeps whatever is left of its year of free publishing, plus any extensions you bought; a campaign with no recorded publish date gets 30 days’ notice first. If a renewal payment fails, you have seven days to fix it.
What if a campaign reaches £200 while I’m on the monthly plan?
Then that campaign never pays the £10 fee, even if you cancel later. A fee a campaign already owed before you subscribed still needs paying.
What happens to my campaigns if I go back to free?
Nothing disappears. Each campaign keeps the rest of its year of publishing and any extensions, and fees waived while you were subscribed stay waived. Your dashboard and billing page show anything that needs your attention.
How do I receive funds?
Sponsorship payments go to your own connected Stripe account, not a GoodGrid balance, and Stripe pays them into your bank. You do not need to wait for your campaign to finish. Bear in mind that first payouts can take longer while Stripe checks your details, and timing depends on your country and bank; you can see expected arrival dates in Stripe. Need money faster? Some eligible accounts can request Instant Payouts, typically arriving within 30 minutes, for an additional Stripe fee (new accounts are not immediately eligible). How Stripe payouts work (opens in a new tab). Stripe’s fees, refunds and disputes can reduce what’s paid out.

*These are country- and card-specific published examples, not global rates. Actual fees depend on the connected account, card and Stripe agreement. GoodGrid supports campaign amounts in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, SGD, HKD, JPY; this does not make every country or organiser eligible. Check Stripe’s country availability and pricing for your account.

GoodGrid optional subscription: £9/month for unlimited live campaigns. Campaigns that reach £200 while you’re subscribed never pay the £10 fee; a fee already owed before you subscribed still needs paying.

Rates depend on product, country, account and card. Currency conversion and other payment costs may apply. Registered-charity services have separate pricing where offered. Sources checked 17 October 2026.
