Nonprofit leaders juggle campaigns, events, grants, and board expectations while trying to keep donation flows steady. The right nonprofit payment processing platform should remove obstacles, not create new ones, by making it simple to accept gifts anywhere, track results, and protect donor data
Support donors wherever they choose to give. Accept contributions on your website through donation forms, in person at events, via mobile devices, over the phone, and even via links in email or social media. Multi-channel donation processing expands your reach and lets supporters give when they feel most inspired.
Every percentage point lost to processing fees is funding that does not reach your programs. Our nonprofit merchant services use nonprofit-friendly pricing and competitive transaction rates so more of each gift stays with your organization. You get clear statements and predictable costs, which makes it easier to report back to your board and donors.
Protecting donor information is essential for maintaining trust. Payment Nerds’ payment solutions include PCI-compliant security measures, fraud-detection tools, and real-time monitoring to keep all transactions secure.
Our detailed reporting tools provide insights into donation patterns, campaign success, and donor retention, helping nonprofits make data-driven decisions and optimize fundraising efforts.
Sustainer programs and monthly giving are the backbone of predictable nonprofit revenue. We make it easy for donors to set up recurring gifts on a monthly, quarterly, or annual schedule, update their payment method, and adjust amounts without calling in. Automated reminders and card updater tools help prevent lapses, keeping your recurring base strong.
Create branded, user-friendly donation pages that seamlessly integrate with your website. Our donation pages are optimized for conversions, providing a simple, engaging donor experience that increases contributions.
Nonprofits rely on donor databases and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms to understand supporter behavior. Our payment processing for nonprofits integrates with leading donor management tools so gift history, contact details, and recurring plans sync automatically. This gives your development team accurate data for segmentation, stewardship, and campaign planning.
Our dedicated team is available to assist with setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization, offering industry-specific expertise to help you succeed. With 24/7 support, Payment Nerds ensures that your payment solutions are always functioning at peak performance, giving you and your supporters peace of mind.
Nonprofits need more than a generic payments vendor. They need a partner that understands seasonal campaigns, fiscal year reporting, grant requirements, and what happens when a significant event or appeal falls flat. Payment Nerds aligns nonprofit payment processing with the realities of annual funds, capital campaigns, peer-to-peer events, and membership programs.
We focus on donor trust at every step. That means secure, branded donation pages, clear receipts, and simple options for recurring gifts and tribute giving. When donors recognize your organization throughout the checkout experience, they feel confident enough to give again and increase their support over time.
Finally, we design nonprofit merchant services that work for lean teams. Integrated reporting, recurring management, and donor system connections reduce manual work so your staff spends less time reconciling transactions and more time cultivating relationships, meeting with stakeholders, and executing on your mission.
Accept credit cards, debit cards, Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments, and electronic checks so donors can give in the way that works best for them. Payments are deposited into your nonprofit merchant account on predictable timelines with transparent funding policies.
We streamline underwriting for nonprofits, associations, faith-based organizations, and membership groups. That means you can move from application to live nonprofit payment processing quickly and start collecting donations for your campaigns without waiting through long bank approval cycles.
Create branded donation pages that carry your logo, colors, impact messaging, and suggested giving levels. Pages are optimized for mobile devices and conversion so busy donors can complete secure gifts in just a few clicks, whether they land on your site from email, social media, or search.
Seamlessly connect your existing bar point-of-sale systems without any interruptions or retraining. Our solution operates in the background, ensuring your team continues serving customers without downtime or a steep learning curve.
Connect your nonprofit payment processing directly to the systems your team already uses so data stays accurate and work is not duplicated. Integrations allow payment processing for nonprofits to fit cleanly into your fundraising, finance, and reporting workflows.
