Boldly Give

Online payments are processed by Boldly Give using BluePay as the gateway vendor to the respective credit card companies.

Transaction Fees

In addition to administrative costs, there are fees incurred for electronic payment options. These fees are deducted by the gateway vendor at the time the donation is made, reducing the amount received by Tying Vines.  Donors receive receipts for the full amount of their donation.

The following table reflects the various transaction fees by:

• Check: No transaction fee
• ACH (direct bank withdraw): 30¢/transaction
• Credit Card / Debit Card*: 30¢/transaction + the credit card fee, typically 2% - 3% depending on card type*. 
• Wire transfer:typically ranges between $25-$40 depending on bank and destination

*Can vary – corporate, high-rewards, or high-points cards can result in higher % transaction fee.

Why Tying Vines

Where does the name come from? Tying Vines is an action verb that depicts the vineyard worker tying the new growth of a vine branch onto the vineyard infrastructure so it is better positioned to support its fruit.
