Well, I am sad to say that I have hit a stumbling point in the credit card processing. We will not be live by the time the Raffle starts:nah:. They put a lot of extra hoops in my path. Actually it was probably me that put the hoops there:embaresse. I listed on the application that we are a non profit organization. We have to provide proof of non profit status before they will approve the account. We can't do that because we have not been granted non profit status. SO.
I will continue to pursue the merchant account. Just not in the nonprofit status. I have to reapply and choose another option. then I have to provide a ss # for them to attach the account to. Or, we can wait until we achieve non profit to pursue online cc processing.
Now For The Good News....
Rick DiNardo has agreed to process our credit cards for the raffle. We need to reimburse the fees he incurs. I have asked him to supply us with a cost sheet so we can do so. We did not repay him last raffle for the fees. "He did not mention this, I just remembered we did not reimburse him".
So in closing I will meet with Rick tomorrow to set things up.
Anyway, the raffle will go as planned and we have a viable credit card processing source.
