You can accept online payments for new member dues and donations. Online payments require that your organization has a credit card merchant account or PayPal account. If you do not have one of these, we can assist you in setting one up. ACH and eCheck options are available through Authorize.Net and their resellers.
Although the topic of payment gateways can be a little complex, for our purposes, think of a payment gateway as the 'glue' between DonationLeap and your merchant account and/or bank account.
Merchant Account/Bank Account Payment Gateway DonationLeap
To use a merchant account, you will want to talk to your financial institution or merchant account provider and ask if they use one of our supported gateways below.
If you have a different gateway you need to use, let us know. We typically can integrate a new gateway in 2-3 hours (billable).
Costs involved will vary from provider to provider, so if you don't have a merchant account, you may want to shop around to find an offer that will reflect the nature of your transactions. For example if you have a high volume of low-cost transactions, you may want to look for lower transaction fees. If the opposite, you may want to look for lower 'discount rates' (%-based fees).
Once your merchant account provider has your gateway set up, our customer service team will assist you in integrating them into our software and running a few tests to verify everything is working correctly.
