donor tip at checkout (roughly two in three donors tip, per Zeffy)

|description=Zero-fee fundraising, ticketing, and membership platform for nonprofits. Scale
(per Zeffy's own reporting): 100,000+ nonprofits, $2B+ raised to date.
|usage_notes=Registration: does NOT require a full 501(c)(3) IRS determination letter to
sign up -- but does require an EIN and a bank account in the org's own name, plus being
"registered in some form" (e.g. state nonprofit incorporation, or an IRS determination
request already filed). A personal bank account can't be substituted even for a bona fide
nonprofit-in-formation. Full 501(c)(3) status is only needed later, to unlock automatic
tax-deductible receipt generation. Also only available in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
Net effect: gated on us filing state nonprofit paperwork and getting an EIN first, not on
federal tax-exempt approval -- closer to ready than Zeffy's marketing implies, but not
usable today.
