# 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

### 💳 How It Works

Buyers see four contribution options at checkout:

* **No thanks** - Proceed without contribution
* **Half fee** - Cover 50% of the platform fee
* **Full fee** - Cover 100% of the platform fee
* **Extra support** - Covers 100% of platform fee and an additional donation

### 📊 Why Enable This?

* 100% of contributions go to your organization
* Helps offset platform fees
* Optional for buyers - no pressure

### ✨ Key Benefits

* Completely optional
* Transparent to buyers
* Additional revenue stream
* No extra administration required

*Note: The platform fee is still officially charged to your organization, but this feature allows buyers to voluntarily help cover these costs.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rafflelink.com.au/pricing/understanding-rafflelink-pricing/can-buyers-pay-the-fee.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
