Can nonprofits get discounted processing fees?

Yes, Stripe and PayPal offer nonprofit discounts on their fees.

If you are a registered 501c3 non-profit, you can contact Stripe at [e-mail] and apply at PayPal's Nonprofit Center. In the US, the discounted nonprofit rate is typically 2.2% + $.30 (Stripe) or 1.99% + $.49 (PayPal) per transaction. If your organization is outside of the US, the rate may be higher or lower.
