Fundraising platforms
How money moves
- Donor gives. A donor opens a payment link or scans a QR code and pays by credit card, debit card, or bank account. Donors can choose a suggested amount or enter their own.
- Funds land in the organization's wallet. Donations settle to the nonprofit's Moov wallet, minus any platform fee you collect.
- Recurring gifts repeat on schedule. Saved cards or bank accounts are charged daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly until the donor or schedule ends them.
- Organization receives payouts. A daily sweep moves the wallet balance to the organization's bank account, leaving a minimum balance behind to cover refunds, disputes, and fees.
Moov products you'll use
- Payment links: share donation pages by URL, email, SMS, social media, or QR code.
- Accept card payments online: save a donor's card on file for future gifts.
- Scheduled transfers: set up recurring donations.
- Card account updater: keep recurring donors' cards current.
- Sweeps: pay out donations to the organization's bank automatically.
- Data sync: send donation data to Google BigQuery for reporting.
Fundraising considerations
Suggested and open amounts. Payment links can offer suggested amounts, set a minimum and maximum, or let the donor choose any amount. If you let donors enter a custom amount, you can't add a surcharge to cover processing costs. Use fixed or suggested amounts if you need surcharges. See user-defined amounts.
Keep recurring donors giving. Expired and reissued cards are a common reason recurring gifts lapse. Save cards with cardOnFile enabled so card account updater refreshes them automatically, with no need to contact donors.
Reporting without ETL. Data sync streams near-real-time payment data to your BigQuery warehouse, where tools like Looker and Tableau can read it. Contact Moov support to set up the private data exchange.
