If a fee is required for completing a submission, projects will have the dollar amount listed on an organization’s submission page, as well as at the top of the form:

The amount may not be listed if a fee is not required for completing a submission but is an add-on within the form.

The total amount due will be listed at the bottom of the form as a submitter fills out their submission, and depending on the options they select:

Submitters have the option to pay by credit card or PayPal at the time of payment. Credit card transactions are processed through the payment processor Stripe.

  • Stripe accepts all major credit cards.

  • Stripe typically declines prepaid credit cards, which are frequently used to perpetrate fraud.

Upon completing a submission with associated payment, a submitter will receive two automated emails from Submittable: one indicating their entry has been successfully submitted and one receipt for their payment.

Please note: The submitter’s PayPal or credit card statement will reflect a payment made to Submittable, not the organization to whom the submission was sent.

When a submission requires a fee, or you want to make another type of purchase through the Submittable platform, you can choose from the following ways to pay:

  • Visa

  • Mastercard

  • American Express

  • Discover

  • Diners Club

  • PayPal

If your card won't work, please try a different payment method. Please contact the card issuer for questions about declined payments when using your card.
