The Best Way for Canadian Charities to Accept Donations Online Without Credit Cards
July 31, 2025
If you run a Canadian nonprofit or charity, you know one truth all too well: making it easy for people to give is everything. But traditional donation methods can frustrate both donors and staff, with slow processing, high fees, and complicated setup. Every hurdle means a lost donation. Is your cause missing out?
The Problem: Outdated, Expensive, and Frustrating Donation Methods
- Missed Donations: Many would-be donors abandon your form because they don’t want to enter credit card info or don’t have their card handy.
- Processing Delays: It can take days for funds to clear, slowing down your mission.
