What are the fees associated with Online Giving and how do we pay them?
A. If you sign up for Online Giving, we will bill you a one-time setup fee of $125 and a monthly fee of $30 that will be added to your monthly invoice. The monthly fees do not start until you have entered your merchant account information and we have validated it. This is because you cannot actually do any online payment processing until you have a good merchant account in our systems. There is also a transaction fee of $0.20 per transaction, which is also included in your monthly invoice. If you are using Online Giving, you will pay the transaction fee. If you do not want to accept online payments, the transaction fee does not apply. Please note that you will also have fees that you pay your merchant account. These fees were not discussed here. Our fees cover the processing of the payments through the gateways, but your merchant account fees will be taken out of the monies that are accepted and deposited into your merchant account.
