Amazon Pay fees for charitable organizations

Transaction fees

Amazon Pay fees for charitable organizations are transaction-based and have a processing and authorization component. The transaction fee is composed of a domestic processing fee of 2.2% and an authorization fee of $0.30, plus tax where applicable, charged when the donation is successfully authorized and processed.

For example, if a $10.00 donation is made on your website, your total transaction fee would be $0.52, according to our standard rate:

Domestic processing fee: 2.2%

Authorization fee: $0.30

Authorization fee

The $0.30 authorization fee, included in the total transaction fee described above, will be collected when the donation is successfully processed or when a successful authorization that has not been captured is closed or expires.

Cross-border processing fee

If you receive payment from a payment method issued outside of the U.S., we will collect a 3.2% cross-border processing fee and the authorization fee described above, plus tax where applicable. The 3.2% cross-border processing fee is charged only when the transaction is captured. For example, if the donor’s credit card was issued outside of the U.S., the cross-border fee will be applied to your transaction.

For example, if a $10.00 cross-border donation is made on your website, your total transaction fee would be $0.62, according to our standard rate:

Donation amount

Cross-border processing fee: 3.2%

Authorization fee: $0.30

Disputed chargeback fee

If you request to dispute a chargeback claim that is not covered under our Payment Protection Policy (see section B6 of the Amazon Payments Customer Agreement), we will assess a fee of $20.00 plus tax where applicable. For more information on chargebacks, see Handling chargebacks.

Refunds of transaction fees

If a refund takes place, you will also be refunded the following transaction fees, as applicable:

  • The domestic processing fee (for example, the 2.2% fee)
  • The cross-border processing fee (for example, the 3.2% fee)

Please note that the Authorization fee and Disputed chargeback fee are non-refundable.
