Other than PayPal ? Moneybookers?
Hi all! I am new to this so excuse me if my question is in the wrong place.
Does Zen Cart support payment transfer services, such as moneybookers, that charge their fee directly to the payer rather than the recipient like PayPal?
If you want to know why I am asking read on:
We are a registered Canadian charity and our "shopping cart" will be used only to receive donations for which we will be issuing tax receipts. The Canadian Revenue Agency allows us to use no more than 20 percent of our receipted funds for administrative purposes; the rest must go towards our charitable purpose. If someone sends us $20, we must issue a receipt for $20. But if we pay a handling fee, that will go towards administrative expenses. We will have less than $20 to spend, but $16 must still go towards our aims & purposes. In other words our margin of action is reduced.
On the other hand if the payer accepts to defray the handling cost, we get the full $20 and our receipt will be for the amount we actually have received. That is why we are interested in moneybookers.
