Inexpensive ACH for NonProfits

June 13, 2011 12:12 PM

Non Profit on Drupal looking to process ACH payments. What is your advice?

Hi everyone, I keep the books for a small non--profit, and we have made the decision to start to move our larger donors away from Paypal (yay!). We are looking for a streamlined way to do recurring, good-till-cancelled, monthly debits directly to our donors' checking accounts.... similar to how I pay my power bill.

I have looked into "chase collections" and this may work out.... I can just put up a secure form on the site, and manually put them into chase, but it doesn't look like there is an API. What are your opinions?

Call the vendor. It would really surprise me if they didn't have some kind of support for this. You can't be the only one with this problem.

If Chase doesn't give you what you need, consider another vendor.

The nonprofit I work for is in the middle of a similar transition. We're using Paperless Transactions. They have a nonprofit rate and an API that plugs directly into our CRM.
