Gross & net donations received, processing fees & more!
We understand reconciling reports & data throughout the month can be a hassle, so we've tried to make it as easy as possible! 💃

To include the Stripe fee in the final charge, calculate the gross amount, taking into consideration that increasing the final amount also increases the Stripe fee: the Stripe fee is a flat fee plus a percentage of the total charge. The flat fee and the total charge percentage must be factored into the final charge amount to ensure that you receive the desired amount, after Stripe deducts the fee from the charge.

Depending on your Harness subscription, your Harness platform processing fee will be either 0%, 1% or 3% in addition to Stripe's processing fee. (Statistically, on average, 90% of donors cover this total fee for you.)
Because Stripe charges their processing fee on the TOTAL donated (intended donation + processing fee recommended/covered by your donor), it is easiest to work backward in understanding your donor's recommended cover fee.
For example:
Let's say a donor gave a total of $51.94 (covering your processing fee for you)
You've been approved for Stripe's non-profit rate at 2.2% + $.30
Your Harness platform fee = 1%
In this example, your payout report would read: Column Q (Stripe Fee) = $1.44
Column R (Harness Platform Fee) = $.50 Column Q + R = Column P = $1.94
Column P (Total Fees Donor Covered - Harness + Stripe) = $1.94 Column S (Total Gross Donated) = $51.94 Column O (Total Net Received) = $50.00

I know what you're thinking...what in the world is that?! 👆 That's the Stripe uses to calculate the cover fee - crazy, huh? Don't worry! We know it's a pretty complex equation for something as simple as covering process fees, but processing fees can be tricky like that and we want to ensure your donor covers all of the fees so that 100% of their intended donation amount can go to your organization. 👍
Stripe charges a competitive, standard processing fee of 2.9% + $.30 on each transaction (exception: AmEx - 3.5%). If you apply & are approved for Stripe's , that processing fee drops to 2.2% + $.30.
