Good morning all, At Friargate I had a WorldPay machine installed years ago. Just before lockdown. It is not cheap, but Friargate do have a large letting business and I needed something that would link to SAGE and help with including a SAGE PAY button on our invoices which this does. I can then look at reports and reconcile to the bank and anyone paying via the Sage pay link button it automatically asks me to allocate it in Sage when I log on. However, down side is it is not cheap and I wont bore you with the details of them suspending our service for 6 weeks on due diligence as they did not like the answers I was supplying re Trustee details for York Area Quaker Meeting (when they bothered to read them) and also though we were a hotel/hostel/inn/pub - do not ask! I am now back on but it nearly caused a nervous breakdown... also I have been thinking for a while of swapping to Elevon which is cheaper and hopefully more efficient for our needs.

Lancaster are still considering their options, but the Treasurer does not seem to be particularly interested in taking it further. I would love to be able to take a list of who uses what and how successful the various options have been. I'd love to know how affordable the different systems are; how users friendly they are, and how the various Meetings account for the money that is paid using the various systems - ie how much staff/volunteer time is saved vs needed; and can anyone show evidence that using card machines have resulted in an increase in giving. I'd also still be interested to hear whether any Meetings have been using a card payment method that works well for room hire payments as well as donations and collections etc. Sorry I can't be of any help.
