ServiceU Adds Free Mobile Giving
Yesterday ServiceU announced that their TransactU donation and payment service now offers mobile functionality for no additional charge. Using the service, you can now accept donations and event payment from a mobile device. In addition to allowing donors to give at their convenience, imagine using an iPad or iPhone to sell tickets at the door for your event.
From the release:
“ServiceU has now added free mobile functionality that enables people to give, register, and pay for events securely from their cell phones. Best of all, these mobile devices are supported automatically through the company’s solution – the organization does not need to do anything or pay anything extra for mobile pages.”
TransactU costs $40/month + $0.50/transaction, which will make sense if your church regularly has large donations online since they don’t charge a percentage of the transaction (like Paypal). Even though most donations will probably still happen through a desktop, having a mobile alternative will put your church far ahead of the curve.
Recently Square, built by the founders of Twitter, have received attention for their mobile-giving platform. One of the benefits to using something like TransactU is the integrated solution keeps your financial department from accounting for an additional service, and Square holds money in excess of $1000 for 30 days.
