Option To Pay Transaction Fees

My wife and I run a small nonprofit that accepts small dollar donations to help other small causes. We're migrating our fundraising from a proprietary app to a Wordpress site using Pabbly Subscription Billing. Our old app offered the ability for donors to pay the transaction fee, and for our small donations that would be a game-changer. Please consider adding the option to pay transaction fees to Pabbly's checkout.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Chris Conlee

Solid feature request — "cover the fee" toggle is huge for nonprofits, especially on small donations where fees eat 15-30% of the gift. Stripe and PayPal both expose this via API, so Pabbly adding a checkbox should be straightforward.

In the meantime, you can fake it with a Pabbly Connect workflow that adds the calculated fee (2.9% + $0.30 for Stripe) to the donation total. Bit of a game to set up but works as a stopgap.
