FAQs

Forgive me for asking, but what’s in it for you?
We want you to use our products. We figure if we help you raise money you’ll be able to make a bigger impact for Christ in your ministry. We all win!

How safe is the web site you’ll set up for us?
It’s COPA compliant and as safe as we can make it. You’re the administrator of your site; nobody else can peek in and look over your finances. And your team won’t be posting anything personal.

Do people send donations to you?
No—we never handle your money! Donations of money and supplies go straight to your church. The software we provide will help you keep it all organized but the checks come directly to you.

Who has access to the names of our donors?
You do—you need them to send follow-up information to keep them informed. We do provide an “opt-in” option for donors who’ like to know more about our programs. But only if they “opt in.”

Do I need to know a lot about fundraising to use this service?
Nope. Just follow the step-by-step instructions and you’ll be a fundraising pro in no time.

Why do I need to enter an email address to add a PayPal button?
PayPal associates this email address with the PayPal button that is added to your page when supplied: When a site visitor uses the button to send you a payment, PayPal will deliver the funds to the email address you specify here.

Although you are not required to sign up for a PayPal account before you can send and receive payments, you will need an account to access funds sent to your email address. We strongly recommend that you sign up for an account before using this feature.

When you sign up for your free PayPal account, you will be required to enter an email address and password. You will need this information to access your PayPal account and withdraw funds from PayPal to your bank. When you're ready to create a PayPal button, be sure to enter this same email address in the field provided to ensure that payments made through your button are delivered to your PayPal account. All payments sent via PayPal are delivered to an email address.

Remember: Payments made through your PayPal button will be delivered to the address you specify when creating the button. If this address is not the same as the email address associated with your PayPal account, you will not be able to access your funds.

For more information about PayPal accounts, please see the PayPal web site.
