## What we checked on Bloomerang

### What the fees come to

**The fee per ticket** · Yes — No separate ticketing service fee is published: event registration is billed at the Bloomerang Fundraising card processing rate of 3.95% plus $0.30 per transaction, with no setup, monthly or payout fee.

> Visa, Mastercard, Discover | 3.95% + $0.30 | Per transaction.
> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17571957-payment-processing-pricing · Bloomerang Fundraising Payment Processing table, Visa/Mastercard/Discover row, checked 27 October 2026

**Who pays the fees** · Yes — Fees come out of the organization's proceeds by default, but GiftAssist lets registrants add an amount that covers the processing cost, and new standard forms preselect it for donors.

> GiftAssist does not replace processing fees. It is a small, additional donation that donors can add to their transactions so the final amount you receive is closer to the donor's original gift.
> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17569421-giftassist · GiftAssist, opening paragraphs, checked 27 October 2026

**Card processing** · Yes — Bloomerang Payments processes cards in-house for event registration at 3.95% plus $0.30, with AMEX at 4.95% and ACH at 1.95% plus $0.95; outside processors carry a 1.95% platform fee on top.

**All-in price at checkout** · Partly — Registrants see the package price the organization set, and fees are not added on top; however, new forms preselect the optional GiftAssist amount, so the first total shown includes a fee contribution a buyer must clear.

> New standard and peer-to-peer forms have GiftAssist and Opt-in Donors by default enabled automatically. This means the GiftAssist option is preselected for donors unless you disable it in the form's settings.
> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17569421-giftassist · Enable GiftAssist section, first paragraph, checked 27 October 2026

**Free events** · Yes — A free RSVP event is set up as a $0 package, and the published fee schedule charges only a percentage plus fixed amount per processed transaction, with no setup, monthly or minimum merchant fee.

> — https://bloomerang.com/pricing · Bloomerang Fundraising product card, price block, checked 27 October 2026

**Donations and tips** · Yes — Event registration forms carry add-on donations alongside tickets, and GiftAssist asks buyers to add an amount covering processing costs rather than tipping the platform itself.

> — https://bloomerang.com/features/event-management · Features grid, Flexible registration options card, checked 27 October 2026

> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17569421-giftassist · Other Payment Processors section, registration total list, checked 27 October 2026

### Getting paid

**When you get the money** · Yes — Money is paid out to the organization's own bank account on a daily schedule by default, changeable to weekly or monthly, and the published schedule lists a $0 payout fee.

> Payout Frequency is automatically set to Daily but can be changed to Weekly or Monthly.
> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17570356-access-payments-in-bloomerang-fundraising · Settings section, Payout Frequency paragraph, checked 27 October 2026

**Disputed charges** · Partly — The published fee schedule sets a $0 fee when a buyer disputes a card charge with their bank, and a $15 fee for each time a buyer disputes an ACH payment with their bank, but the pages do not say who ultimately bears the disputed amount itself.

> ACH Chargeback Fee | $15 | Per chargeback instance.

> — https://help.bloomerang.com/en/articles/17569267-event-packages · Event Packages, opening section, checked 27 October 2026

> — https://bloomerang.com/features/event-management · Features grid, Drag-and-drop seating card, checked 27 October 2026

**Questions at checkout** · Yes — Custom event fields can be attached to individual packages and attendee details requested per ticket, so questions such as meal choice or shirt size are collected per guest rather than only per order.
