  2. How much does it cost?

    Weddings are expensive, and 41% of couples go over budget before they even get to the honeymoon. We didn't want Honeyfund to be one more cost on top of that. So we’ve made a 20-year commitment to maintain fee-free options.

    With the Honeyfund Wallet, you choose how and when to redeem your gift funds. Go completely fee-free with any combination of the Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard® and more than 300 popular gift card brands. Or have your funds deposited into your PayPal or Venmo account for a low fee of 2.2%. If you prefer to route funds to your own bank account, the fee is 3.5% + $0.59 and that requires setup in advance of gifts.

    Here's a breakdown of what you pay for a $150 gift:

    Guest Gift How You Redeem Processing Fee What You Receive
    $150 Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard 0% $150
    $150 Gift card (e.g. Airbnb, Delta, Amazon) 0% $150
    $150 PayPal or Venmo 2.2% $146.70
    $150 Bank account 3.5% + $0.59 $144.16

     

    What does Honeyfund REALLY cost compared to other sites?
    A lot of registries advertise "zero fees," but look closely, and it's because your guests have to pay you directly in the Venmo app where their gift becomes public. And they still might pay fees if they fund that gift on a credit or debit card. Then, you're on your own to track it, deal with refunds and customer service, and have no protection if something goes wrong. And guests without a Venmo account are stuck.

    Platform Platform Fee Cash-Out Fee Guest Fee Secured, Fee-Free Payouts
    Honeyfund $0 Free to Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard®
    2.2% to Venmo/PayPal*
    None* Yes
    Zola $0 2.5% 2.5% No
    The Knot $0 2.5% 2.5% No
    Joy $0 2.5% 3.5% No
    *Guests can optionally support Honeyfund's mission with a contribution at checkout called Honeyfund Gives. They choose how much.

    **Bank/ACH also available, and equires set up in advance of gifts. You pay 3.5% + $0.59 on every gift.

    The Honeyfund Wallet*** is currently available for US members receiving US Dollars only. For more information on receiving honeyfunds in currencies outside of the US/USD, click here.

    Compared to other sites that charge anywhere from 5% to 9% in total fees (often split between couples and guests), Honeyfund continues to be the low-fee leader in honeymoon and cash wedding registries.

    ***The Honeyfund Wallet is a digital gift card balance inside your Honeyfund account that can be redeemed in a variety of ways including more than 300 digital gift card brands, the Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard®, or to a PayPal or Venmo account. Honeyfund Wallet funds never expire. Use of the Honeyfund Wallet is subject to Honeyfund Gift Card Terms.

    Guests love Honeyfund! All you have to do is share the page and watch your Honeyfund Wallet grow. To ensure your honeymoon happens, we recommend you budget for basic travel costs such as airfare and hotel nights and count on your honeyfund to help cover the extras that make your trip into a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon – things like flight and room upgrades, excursions, romantic meals and other adventures!  If you get more than enough to cover your whole trip, you can keep that money for your future. Just make sure to let guests know how you ultimately used their gift funds.
