Fees and payment transparency

See how donation fees are shown.

AmbagKo shows the donation amount, platform fee, payment processor fee, and estimated total before checkout when payment setup is configured. Live PayMongo payments are not enabled in this private-beta pass.

Payment processing remains in private-beta/test mode until live setup is complete. AmbagKo does not store donor balances or provide stored balances, escrow, instant withdrawals, or automated payouts.

Example donation

This example uses the current private-beta fee helper for a ₱1,000 donation. Final live payment fees should be reviewed again before launch.
