Payers have the option to pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit or credit card and ACH by clicking the collection link or scanning the QR code

If a payer wishes to complete the payment by check, POS or cash, the admin must approve and can mark that contact as paid.

Cheddar Up provides a great way to collect payments online, but that’s where it ends. Once you collect funds through Cheddar Up, you have to withdraw it to a bank account to use the funds.

Crowded offers online payment collection, like Cheddar Up, but also provides modern banking services within the app. You can spend the collected funds, and track payments all in one app!

Crowded is also cheaper. Cheddar Up charges a 3.59% + $0.59 credit card fee while Crowded charges only 2.99%.

With collecting with Crowded, you can avoid constantly transferring funds between payment apps and banks to access your group’s money. Utilizing embedded finances, Crowded enables your group to bank, collect, and spend with just one platform.

Also, we provide fund protection. Unlike Venmo, funds you keep on Crowded are in a FDIC pass-through, insurance-eligible accounts**, and FDIC insurance is available on deposits up to $250k.

Any nonprofit is welcome to use Crowded’s platform, but the typical users are membership based groups that range from independent clubs to multi-chapter organizations

Not sure whether Crowded is the right fit for your group? Talk to us.

When collecting payments, we charge 2.99% of the collection amount if paid by card and $5 for ACH payments.

You can always choose whether the org will cover these fees or ask your payers to handle them.

If your payers cover the fee, you’re processing payments fee-free! Keep 100% of what you collect.
