Free Donation /Event /Payment Pages for your Charity, Group, Association, or Business.
First Cup Site Creator integrates easily with PayPal. But PayPal isn't for everyone. It requires that you designate a bank account for payment deposits, and you monitor this bank account regularly. For a business, or a small proprietor, PayPal may be a perfect solution.
If you're a charity or a club, PayPal may not be the best solution for you. Many charities and clubs have a business model that requires donations to be controlled by two individuals, and earmarked beforehand for accounting purposes. Also, some businesses really prefer to receive a check in the mail, and not an automated payment to their bank account.
When PayPal isn't a fit for your organization, we recommend Click and Pledge.
Do you want to accept donations or payments online but prefer:
- to receive your payment checks in the mail?
- To have your Treasurer and Secretary record and process bank payments? Perhaps you require two signatures on checks?
- To be able to control when payments are made
- Online reporting tools to help measure the success of your efforts, donations, ticket sales, etc.
- To be able to easily create and manage payment pages -- as many as your organization needs
- To ensure that your donors feel confident and to have payment pages that you select with your organization's branding
- To be able to edit, create and manage your online donations with no technical skills (well, you have to remember your login.
- Enjoy customer support during normal business hours from the Click and Pledge staff located in Virginia.
Click and Pledge is a great service for nonprofits, clubs, and small at home businesses – who may prefer to receive periodic
transfers (mailed to the club’s Treasurer, for example) and online reports, but don’t want to track automated bank payments through PayPal.
