# Can Buyers Pay The Fee?

No, RaffleLink charges its platform fees to the organization conducting the raffle directly. However, we offer a feature that allows ticket buyers to voluntarily contribute towards these costs, helping maximize your fundraising potential.

### 🎯 Fee Assistance Option

* Enable during raffle setup
* Located in Step 7: Raffle Structure
* Check "**Offer Fee Assistance (optional)**" box
