In today's technology-driven world, donors want -- and expect -- to make donations to your organization or purchase something from it quickly and easily using a credit or debit card. You MUST be ready to accept their plastic card at any time, in any medium, by any method: face-to-face, email, fax, snail-mail or online. The same applies to social enterprises: To do business, you do plastic. How do you know if your accounting system and website are optimized for plastic? Are there special rates that you should take advantage of? What does it cost your organization of this must-have payment option? How long should it take for donations to arrive in your bank account? What should you do when they don't arrive? Should you let a third party operate your merchant account or should you operate your own? Which bank offers the best service for your kind of nonprofit or social enterprise?

Topics this free webinar will cover include:

• Card pricing criteria: debit/credit cards, card brand- and industry-specific pricing


• Processor and merchant responsibilities


• What happens in a plastic-based transaction, from soup-to-nuts


• Avoiding fraud and chargebacks


• Social enterprise e-commerce and online donation sites
