Just signed up with PayPal. Great price, terrible service, and a lack of functionality. Have you heard of clickandpledge.com? Looks great but I'm not sure if there will be any additional charges for reward cards. Considering an online giving for our church. Just signed up with PayPal.

Looks great but I’m not sure if there will be any additional charges for reward cards.

Ardent Giving Solutions provides additional capabilities in that both credit and Debit Card Only giving is available. AGS is a ministry-focused company with two goals: lower cost for online giving to churches and provide solutions not otherwise available. Debit Card Only giving was developed for ministries who didn't feel comfortable with accepting credit card offerings which may create member debt. To learn more about how AGS is working to lower cost and develop for the church you can view the AGS website to read recent articles about the company which were published in Church Executive, Rick Warren's Ministry Toolbox, Worship Facilities Mag, Leadership Journal and Your Church.

I have noticed a few placed using Active <a href="http://www.active.com/activegiving/product.cfm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.active.com/activegiving/product.cfm</a> to help with this process. Collects payments, fundraise, registration, etc at the same place. Anyone else use it?

The site is secure and collects the data, but passes it over to Authorize and they process the information. Authorize then talks back to the site and notifies of approval or declination. This allows you to have reporting from the wed site and Authorize. Authorize.net takes care of all of the other PCI compliance concerns.

It only handles electronic checks and not credit cards, so it is cheaper than most of the options that have been listed so far. You can also do recurring transactions as well. Overall, we have been pleased with it.

If you decide to go this route it may be worthwhile to look for hosting companies that offer a SSl certificate bundled with a hosting plan, and guarantee the security of the certificate. I know of at least one company that offers this on a $18/month plan. I personally prefer PayPal since there is no monthly fee (for the plan I'm using), and it isn't used too much.
