Why bother with online payment services?




if you're like many small organizations, you collect payments mainly through cash or checks. While this might be working for you at the moment, adding online payments provides a number of advantages to you and your supporters.

Meet expectations

People are increasingly comfortable paying online. When members or supporters are ready to sign up, register for an event, or make a donation, they want to do it quickly and easily. In fact, websites that don’t support online payment can be seen as being out of step.

Speed up the process

Online payments are faster than manual payments, since you don’t have to wait for the check to arrive or for it to clear. The whole process – from submitting an online payment to updating your bank account – can take a matter of seconds. The end result is improved cash flow for your organization, and almost immediate confirmation of transactions. Prospective members won’t have to wait to join your organization, and participants will know right away whether they have successfully registered for an event.

In addition, the online payment service lets you know right away if the person making the online payment has sufficient funds to cover the transaction –  rather than finding out a week later when the check bounces.

Save you the trouble

Automated payments also save you the trouble of depositing the check and recording the payment manually. Once you set up online payments for your website, they are automatically processed. You don’t handle or store any credit card information. Any updates to member records are handled automatically.

But at a price

Of course, anything of value comes with a cost, and in this case, your payment provider will charge you a fee per transaction, and some charge other fees as well – such as setup fees or monthly fees. But if online payment helps you grow your membership or your fundraising, they’ll be taking a slice out of your much larger pie, and everyone’s a winner.

We’ll explore the costs later, but now, before you start thinking about selecting a particular payment provider, it’s important to understand some online payment terminology, including payment provider.
