James R Gordon Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I have looked into the possibility of introducing Credit/Debit card donations. It simply is a no-goer. Unlike the Paypal system which is effectivel funds from friends for which there is no charge by Paypal for Credit cards there will be a charge of around $50. Unlike paypal we have to sign up with a Payment gateway like Authoize.net. Once set up there will be a charge of around 2% percent of any donation. Inaddition there will also be a monthly service charge. And finally there is a monthly Gateway charge. I.e. a charge for safely transferring the donation into the bank account. Even if no money is donated there will still be a monthly charge for having the gateway set-up. Taken together it will often cost me monthly in charges than I might receive. I am sorry, but this is not a practical solution. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I’ll figure out PayPal. It’s not impossible, just complicated by a personal matter. But it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James R Gordon Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks Paul. I find PayPal useful. Looking at the donations, it was very easy to set up a Paypal system which was maily conducted within Invision. That is not the case with Credit cards. I have a Credit/Debit card system for my business and it costs me around $50 per months in charges. I could not sustain those costs for donation contributions.
