How do I apply for the charity rate?

PayPal nonprofit business accounts pay a standard rate per domestic payment. Visit our fees page for more information. Qualified organisations can receive a discounted rate.

Get started at paypal.com/charities. For your organisation to qualify, PayPal must confirm your charity or nonprofit status. Please review the get started guide to see what information you’ll need to supply.

You should first sign-up for a PayPal account or upgrade your existing account to a PayPal Business account.

You can apply by editing your business information in your Account Settings page to 'Non-profit' as the 'Business type'.

After you've completed the above steps, contact us back. We'll review your application and notify you of the outcome.

Discounted charity pricing only applies to your account after you receive an email from PayPal confirming your charity status.
