A Fresh Start

Take Two.

Introducing the New, Improved DonationPay

Yes, I know, I totally lied when I said we’d resume regular posting in February.  What I meant to say, though I didn’t know it at the time, was that Mastercard would radically change their convenience-fee regulations, rendering our entire service unusable.  This whole event was quite complicated and honestly, quite boring, so I’ll spare you the gory details.  Needless to say, we have completely re-vamped the DonationPay service!

After the regulations changed, Noah and I both agreed that we wanted to continue with DonationPay and as such, we’ve worked out a deal with Mertitus Payment Solutions to continue to bring NPO’s low-cost credit card processing.  We are now offering, to any 501 (c)(3) organization, full service, totally awesome, easily used credit card processing, sans convenience fee.  Our service is completely free of monthly charges, set up fees and per-transaction costs.  Sign up for our service and we take an industry-standard 3 percent per transaction, but you’ll still never get a bill from us.  There are no monthly costs or pesky 25 cent per-transaction fees.  We have the friendliest (I swear) customer service, a comprehensive Payment XP system where you can easily manage your account, and we can customize your donation pages to match your existing website.  Seriously, it’s a great deal, so get started by signing up today.  We can have a merchant account going for you in 2 business days.  We’re still as committed as ever, to helping your non-profit achieve online financial success.

The Mastercard Regulations Fiasco (as it is know affectionately around the office) has not, however, impacted this blog terribly much.  We’ll still be offering all our best observations and (sometimes totally non-expert) opinions and tips from the non-profit sector.  We’ll still be featuring a Non-Profit of the Week.  I’ll still probably be subtly pushing all our readers toward adopting shelter dogs.  We still want to help all the NPO’s out there struggling with your online fundraising.

So, that’s it in a nutshell.  Come check out our excellent new service today and be sure to check back in on the blog often.
