website Donate methods

[Jefke]

I was wondering: is it possible to add more options to donate then just paypal alone.

 

I was thinking about:

 

DIRECTeBanking: paying like you would with online banking (my favourite method: no need for a creditcard or account like paypal)

 

https://www.payment-...rchantarea/home

 

pro:

 

-easy to use: self explaining

-fast

 

contra:

 

-only available in certain countries in europe: Click here to see countries

-no way to subscribe an amount of money annually/monthly

 

Paysafecard: a prepaid solution

pro:

 

-easy to use (even easier the directebanking : just put you code in to pay)

-great for one time donation (small - medium amounts of money)

 

contra:

 

-no way to subscribe an amount of money annually/monthly

 

 

(wanted to add another prepaid solution: wallie but wallie = paysafecard now ^^)

 

 

 

PayByePhone solution like surfpin/zong

Although I don't really like this way of payment, it's widely used to pay small amounts of money

(surfpin got many option, but for the charge rates you have to contact them)

 

 

 

ps. This is just a suggestion, if they cost to much it isn't worth it (I just wanted to suggest some other payment methods I know)

Pay by phone if it was mobile i would donate £10 every month..

I looked into charges for SMS billing - they're really high, and you have to receive serious amounts of payments per month.. I don't think that'll ever be an option unless we can find some reasonable SMS bill handler.. I'll be on the lookout though because I wish to offer such billing methods in the future

We can accept cash too, people have mailed me money and I have made credit card donations for them in their name. Pretty easy.

Like i said, if you sort out sms ill donate lots , like £150 - £200 a year..

But if you cant, i dont really like things showing up on statements because i use my dads debit card as im 17, next July 12th ill donate plenty, im well paid to so around £500 a year, maybe more if i am generous enough for bonuses !

[krAzy :)]

Good suggestion. So maybe people stop saying i would donate if i could ;p

[Heaven:)]

Exactly, so lets try get this mobile payment sorted, you will benefit from it and ill help in whatever way i can.

Maybe this one is a good one.

 

 

They don't describe the transaction cost (you have to contact them) => see faq

 

 

I was thinking that's a job for a owner/leader or something but if you want I check it out.

It looks great! but yeah not my place to say weather they should have it or not!

The prepaid car would be soooo good, something like u-kash, and its really safe, just go to a shop where they sell them, pay the amount you want to donate and just put here a number
