FAQs
Why do nonprofits need a payment processor?
Nonprofits need a payment processor to enable them to fundraise online, but accepting donations is just one part of the equation. Nonprofits have a diverse constituency base, and not every segment wants to donate the same way. It’s critical to offer a variety of payment options to drive conversion and acquire new donors. We believe this choice shouldn’t come at the cost of complexity.
Classy pay offers the payment options donors want. We provide transaction reporting, payout reporting, and processor management all from within Classy Manager so all of your program management can happen alongside the rest of your fundraising efforts.
