$0 Platform Fees
Ideali does not charge platform fees. That means Ideali does not take a percentage of your donations. Your cause keeps more of the money you raise.
Only standard payment processing fees may apply through the payment provider for handling transactions.
Secure, PCI-Compliant Payments
Ideali is a fully PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant platform, the highest level of security certification in the payments industry. Every donation is processed securely through Stripe, and payment and personal data are protected with 256-bit encryption. This gives your donors confidence that their information is safe, and means your organization does not have to handle sensitive card details itself.
Your organizer account is protected too, with two factor authentication and new sign-in alerts.
Optional Tips
Supporters may optionally leave a tip during checkout to support the Ideali platform. Tips are completely voluntary.
