We make money
when you do.
Not before.
Redswing charges no setup fee, no monthly fee, and requires no annual contract. The platform takes a small percentage of revenue processed through it: 3% of registration, 5% of auction proceeds and sponsor packages, and 0% on direct charitable donations. There is a $99 minimum fee, waived when your event processes over $5,000.
Free to set up. No monthly charge. No annual contract. A small percentage of revenue you raise through the platform — that's it. And with Cover the Fee enabled, your players absorb most of it.
The rate card
What each rate covers
Registration (3%)
Covers platform setup, player management, confirmation emails, PDF scorecards, and pairings generation. Most of this is absorbed by your players when Cover the Fee is enabled.
Auction (5%)
Our text-to-bid auction raises 30–40% more than paper bid sheets. 5% of a bigger number is still less than what you'd pay for a standalone auction tool — which doesn't come with a golf tournament platform.
Donations (0%)
When a player donates at score submission or a supporter donates from a player's fundraising page, we take nothing. That money goes 100% to your charity. Always.

Estimate only. Real rates: 3% of registrations; 5% of auction, sponsors & add-ons. Direct donations are always free. No setup fee, no contract.
Cover the Fee
Your players want to help. Let them cover the cost.
When Cover the Fee is enabled, a pre-checked checkbox appears at checkout offering registrants the option to add 3% to their payment so 100% of the base price goes to the charity. Over 85% of registrants leave it checked.

Pricing FAQ
Is there really no monthly fee?+
None. Redswing charges a small percentage of revenue processed through the platform — nothing upfront, nothing monthly, nothing annually. If your event raises nothing, you owe nothing.
What if my event is small — fewer than 50 players?+
A $99 minimum platform fee applies to events that process less than $5,000 total. Most events exceed this threshold with their first few registrations. The minimum is waived automatically.
How does the Cover the Fee checkbox work?+
When enabled in your event settings, a pre-checked checkbox appears at registration checkout offering players the option to add the processing fee to their total. It's voluntary — players can uncheck it. But about 85% don't.
What does 'direct charitable donations are always free' mean?+
If a player donates at the end of their round, or a supporter donates from a player's personal fundraising page, Redswing collects 0% on that transaction. It goes 100% to your charity.
When do I get paid?+
Payments transfer to your connected Stripe account automatically as they're processed, minus the platform fee. There's no holdback period. You see the money as your event runs.
What's the Stripe processing fee?+
Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction — this is separate from the Redswing platform fee and is standard across all payment processors. Our Cover the Fee mechanism helps offset this as well.
Run your event without the upfront risk.
Free to set up. You only pay a small percentage of what you raise — and your players can cover most of that for you.
