Merchant Provider Risk Tolerance
Point 1: Priced Tiers and Various Attached Key Features
Donor Perfect offers priced tiers while showing a potential user what comes explicitly with each tier. The smaller packages are meant for smaller organizations or nonprofits: as is reflected by their reasonably low prices. These packages are meant for things like small communities in local towns or perhaps slightly larger missions than that. Features such as custom reports, integration of Quickbooks, crowdfunding, and integrated online donations are offered.
Point 2: Training, Consulting, and Advisory Services
While processing payments and handling donations, Donor Perfect also offers various kinds of training, consulting, and advisory services that may be very helpful to specific organizations or industries. Most of these are designed around improving the staff's productivity or helping them learn new skills. This may be useful in transition periods for staff, especially.
Point 3: Payment Processing, Online Fundraising, Data/Integration of Important Services
Donor Perfect processes payments, assists with online fundraising, and integrates essential services into the sites and/or processes of the nonprofits and charities that it services.

An early termination fee of $295 applies. No equipment leasing is normally involved because Donor Perfect’s processing is done through a virtual terminal.
