Fees
What are the fees involved?
There are payment processor fees charged by PayPal and if you're subjected to, the platform fees charged by Open Collective.
The payment processor fees will be automatically deducted from the original charge but as of now, the platform fees can not be automatically deducted. For the current beta, this debt will be settled once a month through an invoice we'll send you.
