Frequently asked questions
Are there really zero platform fees?
Yes. DonorBooks charges zero platform fees on donations. Standard payment processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) apply, and donors can optionally choose to cover them — but we never prompt or pressure them.
How does the free plan work?
The free plan is genuinely free, forever. You get 3 active campaigns, unlimited donations, and a basic CRM. We make money when organizations upgrade, not by taking a cut of your donations.
What is the AI Campaign Wizard?
Answer 5 questions about your cause, goal, and emotional tone. Our AI writes a compelling headline, description, and generates a custom hero image for your campaign — in under 5 minutes.
Can I switch plans anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. No long-term contracts required. Annual plans are billed upfront and are non-refundable after 30 days.
How does phone + OTP checkout work?
Donors enter their phone number, receive a 6-digit code via SMS, and verify instantly. Returning donors are recognized automatically and checkout in under 5 seconds.
