Jonah G.: Hey, my name's Jonah. I'm a business development manager. I rate Txt2Give, four out of five, and for more views like this click below. When we were reviewing softwares for this particular solution, we were looking for a platform that provided us a texting to donate option, that would allow us to customize the look, feel, and workflow of the experience, so that we could provide an optimized experience for our clients/donors. We didn't find any options other than Txt2Give that gave us the flexibility to accomplish this and that's why we chose Txt2Give. So Txt2Give provides great integration options with many different payment processors, including our main payment processor, which is made for a direct transaction reception and connection with any financial institutions. So, because Txt2Give gave us the option to work with our existing partners, and because Txt2Give gave us the option to set up multiple different payment options for our donors, it gave us the options to set up different payment gateways, as well as different allocation options for our donors. Those are some of the reasons why Txt2Give were a great choice for us. Getting started with Txt2Give was extremely easy. They have a great support team that is very responsive and helped us get set up with very minimal effort on our end. The user interface is extremely user-friendly, so everything is laid out in a way that's easy to understand. And when there are things that are a little bit unclear with other providers, in terms of setting up integrations with payment providers, there are great walk-throughs and great intuitive help text, to help make sure that those processes are easy. If you're interested in Txt2Give, I would recommend doing a good review of their software platform, going through their website, as well as speaking to their sales team. Their sales team is extremely knowledgeable and can help answer any questions you have. In particular, I would be sure to know exactly what you're looking for, as there a lot of different options in the Txt2Give space. For example, if you're looking specifically for a texting short code to give, or if you're looking for more flexible giving options for your donors, you're going to want to look in different places, so make sure that you have a really clear list of the features that you want and your text data platform.

Melanie: Hi, I'm Melanie. I am one of the founders of Hearts for Honduras, and I would give Givebutter a four star rating. We used PayPal previously before using Givebutter, and what we found is it just really the cost of the fees was one of the big factors for us to look to change because we were going to get charged for every transaction. And so that was a big factor for us in finding something that passed on the fees, but a reasonable fee at that. Givebutter really is a platform that really supports nonprofits and does not charge us anything. So everything they do, we get to have a complete, basically a landing page where our participants can set up fundraising pages, we can fundraise for our upcoming trips, and also for our nonprofit in general. So just their overall support of nonprofits was a huge factor in being able to establish that, especially when you don't have very little budget to work with. So there is a little bit of a learning curve with Givebutter and just terms of playing around, how to set up your platform and set up your landing page. But once you get into the rhythm of it, it's pretty easy and it's easy to show others as well how to use. So that was a big... That's been kind of nice being able to teach our participants how to set up their own fundraising pages, but just a little bit of a learning curve when you're first starting off. So I would say that there's a lot of options out there. We did a lot of extensive research, compared the different platforms. Givebutter is right around the same in terms of the fees that they do charge for the processing of payments and fundraising dollars. They're relatively in that same ballpark of most. They're a little bit less. So that was a big factor. But really the big factor was the fact that there's no cost passed on to us to use the platform. So they raised their money completely through donations that donors make. So that was a huge factor for us in making that decision.
