Donate pages your committee owns
Board your committee merchant account, embed checkout on your campaign site, and keep more of every gift with transparent interchange-plus pricing.
Campaign money moves in bursts: online gifts, sustainers, merch bundles, and pay-by-link follow-ups, almost all card-not-present and time-sensitive. Renting a national donate page stacks platform fees on top of processing and divorces your checkout from the site and pixels you already run. We board each committee on its own merchant account with embedded giving on your domain, recurring setup, and fraud rules tuned for political traffic.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from political campaigns & committees before a savings review.
- National donate pages that do not match your campaign site or ad tracking
- Processing fees taking a bite out of every dollar raised
- Recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards
- Gateway and platform fees stacking on top of processing
- Fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders
- Sensitive customer data widening your PCI and compliance scope
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
How political campaigns & committees get paid
Your underwriting, equipment, and pricing should match this flow, not a generic countertop setup.
- One-time online gifts from ads, email, and SMS
- Recurring monthly or weekly sustainer gifts
- Event and rally merch bundled with donations
- Phone and mail follow-up with pay-by-link
- High card-not-present volume with short donation windows
What we configure for your vertical
- Committee-owned merchant account (not a shared national page)
- Embedded or hosted checkout on your campaign domain
- Recurring billing with tokenized cards and updater-friendly retries
- Fraud and velocity rules tuned for political CNP traffic
- Reporting you can reconcile to FEC reporting workflows
Worth knowing before you switch
- Each committee needs its own merchant identity and underwriting path
- Platform and gateway fees stack fast if you rent someone else’s donate URL
- Chargebacks and card testing spike during media buys; plan monitoring up front
