We are officially moving our non-profit credit card processing operations from PayPal to Zeffy (event sponsorship for now). This change will be finalized by April 30, 2024.

Back in 2023, we moved from PayPal to Stripe to only discover that Stripe is charging extra for invoicing. Invoicing didn’t cost us a lot, but this was an extra cost, was not transparent and we went back to PayPal. We are very frugal with our expenses after all.

After our Stripe experience, we tested a few more platforms and finally in 2024, we found our new sweet home. We have finally found a provider that allows our non-profit to keep 100% of all the proceeds. With Zeffy, we pay no fees for credit card transactions and the only downside of Zeffy is the lack of PayPal’s look and feel. The main reason for that is Zeffy’s main purpose is fundraising. A small price to pay for paying zero fees.
