Hi Slávek, Yeah, I'm one of those MBA wienies that looks at the bottom line first then the capabilities. Open Collective’s fees seem a bit high? $10 per month, plus 7.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge 30 cents at the $10 payment level is 3%, so average costs will probably be around ~11% of receipts. https://opencollective.com/pricing https://stripe.com/pricing # # # These kind of decisions are always a trade off, personally I’d go with Open Collective to begin with, but if the [TDE-ORG] starts getting decent funding I’d move on to something else. (Again personally) I’d suggest https://civicrm.org/ on https://backdropcms.org/ for the ‘later’ as the fees then are: Discounted rate for eligible charities, 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction (average costs will probably be around ~6% of receipts.) https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees But, as that would be later, the group will probably come up with something better by then. And I somewhat agree with you on holding off on this whole discussion, but I think it’s probably actually helpful to get it most of it discussed before we approach Timothy.
