Hello, everyone I am from the United States. I am considering payment processing in the form of donations on websites. The typical donation might be low, say $1 or $2. I guess perhaps maybe higher. What is the recommended payment processor for this type of niche? As I am writing this, I just thought of the possibility of changing the payment service if there is a substantial dependable increase in donations. Thank you, JoshEir
What is the content of your website? Paypal donate buttons would be an option as long as your site isn't pharma,porn etc https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/donate_step_1/
I was hoping for something better, that is PayPal takes a small percentage and also thirty cents per transaction. Thirty cents per transaction seems significant to me when a donation could be a dollar or two. However, if it is the best solution than that's how it is. Thank you for your response too! JoshuaEir Oh, it is a general question and it would be something acceptable.
You can open a merchant account through your bank. Just ask for bulk payment option so you won’t get charged for each transaction. They can charge a low percentage in bulk. Banks are in competition with PayPal and should be able to charge a lower fee. If your bank won’t beat PayPal percentages you can find a bank that will. Good luck on your venture.
