Payment Gateways

To accept credit card donations by mail, phone or online, you will need a payment gateway that integrates with your merchant account. A payment gateway allows you to securely key in mail or phone donations through an online virtual terminal and process donations through your website. If you currently accept donations on your website, we can help you set up your new merchant account with your existing payment gateway.
