Collect fees and payments seamlessly

Simplify payment collection with required, optional, or tiered fees on your form. You can also sell products or services right in your application or submission form.

What does Submittable charge?

Per submission, we charge $0.99 + 5% of the total sum collected, 4% of which goes toward our processing costs. Submissions with a fee are not counted towards any submission limits on your account.

Required fees

Require a single fee, such as a submission fee for a literary journal, an application or registration fee, or an entrance fee for a contest.

Icon

Variable fees

Collect tiered fees for different submitters, such as students or seniors, or those with differing abilities to pay, using specific questions types or through conditional logic.

Icon

Opt-in purchases

Sell products and services throughout your application form, such as merchandise or subscriptions, professional or consulting services, or sell tickets to an upcoming event.

Icon

Accept donations

Give submitters the option to donate to your organization or to a common cause through optional payments. Or, leave a tip jar open as an optional submission fee.

Charging per file upload

Charge a flat fee per file upload, or incorporate form logic to charge a variable rate, such as $25 for one file, $20 each for two, and $15 each for three or more.

Sell per item

Sell products and services, and allow applicants to select how many of a particular item they’d like.

Easy payment collection

Submittable’s super simple drag-and-drop form builder makes incorporating fees and payments into your forms easy and seamless—even for the less tech savvy among us.

Flexible options

Add a required fee to your form. Or, incorporate fees through single or multiple response questions, file uploads, or the number field to multiply a payment.

Variable pricing

With Submittable’s form logic feature, you can incorporate tiered pricing, such as reduced prices for additional file uploads, or fees that differ based on the applicant.

One-step payment

Submitters who make multiple purchases can see an itemized list and will only be charged a single time.

Taking payments through the platform saves me probably eight to ten hours during the spring. It saves me from lost checks and trips to the bank. The festival’s application fee pays for Submittable, and booth fees provided needed fundraising. All of that money goes directly into our bank account. It's not sitting here on my desk and that reduces risk.

Submittable really helped streamline our awards. We're not hunting down as much information and we get entry fees right away. It’s great for all user levels and I'm excited to see what else we could do with it in the future.
