Introduction


Following the beta phase of our new online giving feature we are pleased to give you a demo and share the setup instructions.

Our Fees: We charge you from 1.9% + 15p per transaction, depending on your pricing plan. There are no setup fees, and there are no fees due to anyone else. Also, your members stay on your site to donate, with everything on one page. 

You receive the funds in your nominated bank account after 7 days. All the transactions made in any one day are batched together and you can get a detailed break down of the transactions through your website in your Finance area of the web office.
