CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi All,

I need to collect donations for a non profit and want to set up as one time donations of specified amounts with an optional user defined amount. Ex. $25, $50, $100, $500 Other ____ 

It's doubtful that I will have recurring donations, however it would be good to maintain a list of contributors.

I have considered using Ubercart for this purpose but I remember looking into civiCRM for another client.

I want the donation process to work like other donation sites not as a shopping cart and not via Paypal Must go into a merchant account.

Questions:
 - What payment processors does civiCRM Contribute support,
 - Can Civi generate a tax Receipt?
 - Is their a specific tutorial that demonstrates the my specifc needs? 
 - is this hard to do?

If I understand what I have read, civiCrms Contribute should be able to handle this.

thanks a bunch

Just keep in mind that to use some of CiviContribute's supported payment methods, you need a security certificate. For instance, CiviContribute only supports the AuthorizeNet method that collects card data on your own site, so you'd need SSL for that. If you are in a shared hosting environment you should check to be sure that the certificate can be installed on your own domain -- CiviCRM does not support shared SSL (e.g., using your Web host's certificate).
