There are a number of methods you can use to receive online donations and collect payments (e.g. for books, events etc).
Different providers suit different organisations and we are not making recommendations simply suggesting some options your church or Christian ministry may wish to consider.
PayPal: Probably the best known of the online payment systems. You can easily recieve funds via credit/debit card or from PayPal account holders. Sign up for a PayPal account here.
UK registered charities can also register with PayPal to receive reduced rates.
Click n Buy (US) or Click and Buy (UK). Specialising in micro (very small) payments these services suit those wanting to sell numbers of items at a low low price.
