Electronic funds transfer for club dues help
« on: October 18, 2021, 06:29:15 AM »

OMs, YLs, XYLs, and all in between,

I have a few questions regarding collecting dues for our ham radio club. We would like to add a ‘pay now’ feature to our website so members can pay their dues electronically rather than come into a meeting or mail in a check. Which electronic fund transfer method do you prefer to use in this instance? We would like to use a method that is convenient to the member and not charge them an exorbitant amount just for the convenience of using electronic funds.  Please let me know your preference.
TNX,
Jim

Love it or hate it, PayPal seems to be the most popular.

While there are some "horror stories" about it on the net, I have never had any problems using it.

My use is strictly limited to low amount payments to known organizations, mostly clubs and DXpedition OQRS. No experience whatsoever with other uses.

PayPal.  Friends and Family.

Problem solved.

You will still get people complaining they don't use PayPal.  They can write a check.  Otherwise you'll have PayPal, zelle, venmo, cash app and a dozen other payment processors because everyone has their favorite.  PayPal is still the number one and can be linked to credit cards, PayPal credit, bank accounts, etc. Without problem.

Our club treasurer instituted dues payment by Venmo a couple of years ago.  It seem to work well.
