Heads up-

Answer

If you’re considering monetary gifts with your credit card through the website, firstly we are thankful for anything you decide! However, Zola will charge 2.5% on anything you give. In order to avoid this and to save you money, we will have a locked box for cards with monetary gifts. If you are using a check please only make it out to either Erik Schroeder or Leona Abate (not both). Thank you again!
