One of the very first things we created when we developed Digital PTO was the ability to collect credit card payments online. Digital PTO Premium Plus Credit Card Plan Members can quickly add credit card payment options to any online form they create. Carnival Tickets, Donation Drives, Membership Dues and more. Parents can pay online from the convenience of home. This differs from our Premium Plus Paypal Plan as the credit card processing is built directly into your site and users are not re-directed to Paypal to make payment.
To make things even better, we have two different Merchant Account Options, a traditional merchant account route and the Stripe payment route. Stripe is a revolutionary new way to make payments with a fixed fee, no monthly cost platform.
Stripe Payments are recommended for Parent Groups that expect to process less than $20,000 annually online in credit card transactions. If you plan to process more, you might want to look at the Authorize.net option instead.
Easy Fee’s! 2.9% + $0.30 – Period.
How Stripe Credit Card Processing Works
Setting up your Stripe account is extremely simple. You will have the option to log in or create a new account right in the forms interface. The application process is simple and doesn’t require waiting for a deposit in your bank account to verify your identity. Once your account is created, it’s simple to attach it to any of your forms with just a few clicks.
Once your account is created and you have assigned prices, users will visit your site, complete your forms and be directed to a payment page that is still a part of your website to make a credit card payment. Stripe processes those payments, takes out their minimal fee and then deposits the funds directly in your bank account within 7 days.
There are no monthly fee’s or hidden costs at all. Stripe is the same price as basic Paypal, so if you want to accept credit cards on a Paypal budget, this is the perfect solution.
