  • Register a domain name (Examples of Domain Name Registrar’s are Networksolutions.com, Godaddy.com, Domainpeople.com, etc).
  • Ensure that the domain name registration info shows the company’s name, operating address, phone number, valid e-mail address, etc.
  • You will be required to select the Online Donation module option: MSPDonate or Pay pal (MSPDonate requires a Merchant Account).

Difference between PayPal and MSPDonate:

MSPDonate Option (great for full Online Donation Functionality, Management and Reporting):

  • Sign up for a Merchant account through Authorize.net (US), Moneris (Canada), Chase Payment (Canada), etc. Please provide your Merchant Account details to MSPStream.
  • Users will not leave your website to make donations, all processing is via your website.
  • Donations can be directed to different gift purposes (tithes, offerings, building fund, etc.)
  • There is a monthly fee depending on the number of transactions (Your payment processor can provide more details on this).
  • Accepts major credit cards, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, etc.
  • Requires a third party SSL Certificate to secure the online transactions; we can apply for the SSL Certificate on your behalf. It costs about $100/year to purchase and install (we usually do a 3 year signup, this eradicates the yearly renewal process).
  • The SSL Company typically requests to have copies of your company/organization registration or a major utility bill. It is also vital for your domain registration information: organization name, operating address, phone number, valid e-mail address, etc to be correct.
  • There is a one-time setup fee.
  • Funds are automatically transferred into your bank account.
  • MSPDonate is loaded with full reporting and backend management functionality.
  • MSPStream will deploy and integrate the Online Donation Module with the SSL Certificate on your website
  • After testing, we will deploy to production and provide you with login details and training.

PayPal Option (good for entry level, small usage online donation requirement):

  • You will be required to apply for a PayPal Account for your organization.
  • Users will leave your website and be directed to the PayPal website
  • Donations can only go towards one gift purpose only
  • There are no monthly fees (you pay per completed transactions), please check with PayPal for more details on this.
  • You can’t run detailed reports like you can with MSPDonate (used with a Merchant Account).
  • Accepts major credit cards, VISA, MasterCard, American Express (American Express is only supported for US customers).
  • Funds are not automatically transferred into your bank account, you have to log in to PayPal and manually request funds transfer.
  • Takes about 5 to 7 days for requested funds to show up in your bank account.
  • Once you sign up for this, please email us your PayPal Username, Password, and confirmation email from PayPal.
