Zero-fee nonprofit payments
Eligible nonprofit organizations can use ordinary compatible phones for Zeffy Tap to Pay and keep the full concession price with no platform, transaction, or credit-card fees. ConcessionStand.ai connects those payments to the game, physical inventory, people, pickup queue, and closeout.
Zeffy says eligible nonprofits keep 100% of each payment. Optional buyer contributions support Zeffy and can be changed to $0. ConcessionStand.ai pricing is separate.
Administrator setup
The portal never requests a personal Zeffy password and never stores the API key in browser state.

Set up the online store or compatible form, products, pricing, and customer information preferences.
An organization administrator creates the key in Zeffy’s integrations/API settings.
The portal tests the key with Zeffy before encrypting it for that school and preserving only a masked identifier.
Invite each Tap to Pay user separately, test compatible phones, then remove temporary access after active shifts end.
