Hey @Johnfo. So, non-profits still have to pay card processing fees. Square is charged by the card networks for all funds processed through them, and those networks do not provide discounts of any kind. The only benefit to being a 501x organization is that there are no taxes of certain types (income and sales taxes, for example). But all other normal expenses have to be paid just like any other business. It sounds like you might be new to the 501x world, so you might want to sit down with an attorney and/or CPA/accountant to have them give you a good overview of how this all works.

Best,
