Why switch to online payments for my nonprofit?

Online payments are first and foremost a sign that your nonprofit is moving with the times.

The benefits fall into two main categories:

1. Time savings: automated processes that eliminate manual, time-consuming tasks with no added value.
2. Financial gains: a more attractive nonprofit, more time spent on higher-value tasks, faster cash flow compared to checks, and no more lost payments or forgotten collections.

How can online payments save my nonprofit time?

Compared to checks or cash, online payments through Springly save time at every step:

• No more trips to the bank to deposit checks or handle cash,
• No more tracking down individual checks for installment payments,
• No more guessing who paid their membership dues and when — so you can send targeted follow-ups with ease,
• No more manual bookkeeping — entries are recorded automatically in Springly.

The last two points also apply to wire transfers and other payment methods (e.g., PayPal).

How can online payments save my nonprofit money?
