Demo VideoCollect 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.
Payment collection minus the headache
Collecting payments directly saves time and hassle. Require a submission or registration fee, accept donations, or offer products and services.
Easy for applicants
Submitters appreciate the convenience of a simple payment process—no invoices, no delays. Choose from any of 9 currencies based on your needs.
Efficient for your team
Eliminate gaps between accepting an application and selling a product or collecting payment. No more dealing with checks, trips to the bank, or third party vendors. Plus, we’ll handle the refunds for you.
Transparent for all
Transparency builds trust. Submittable makes it easy to tell your submitters exactly where your fees go and why you charge them. Plus, you’ll always know what you’re taking in per transaction.
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.

Adaptable to your process
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
