The NDP continue to send out some mail about raising $10 per person in the first 10 days of September. They are using gifttool.com, and their fee schedule is in their FAQ:
GiftTool will format your template page to identically match your website with all your navigation links. You pay a one-time setup fee of only $150 per service (receive a discount when you setup 2 or more services at once). Whenever your website changes in future, GiftTool will reflect these changes at no extra cost.
In addition to a small monthly fee, GiftTool charges a flat rate of $0.99 per transaction which is discounted for larger volumes. A credit card administrative fee of $0.24 will be applied to each credit cards transaction, plus the credit card fees charged by your internet merchant account gateway.
So to outsource the online donations, the NDP is paying approximately 2 dollars per transaction, plus the $150 setup fee.
