How do I… Donations

Choose a Payment Service

To accept donations through MojoTxt, you need an account with a payment service. The payment service charges your donors, stores their payment information, and deposits the money in your bank account.

MojoTxt doesn't add a transaction fee to donations. Your payment service charges its own fees, so compare them before you choose. See our pricing page.

This is separate from your MojoTxt bill. The card you pay MojoTxt with is under Payment Method.

Step-by-step directions for each service are in Payment Services.

Turn off test mode

With no service connected, donations always run in test mode: nothing is charged and scheduled gifts are paused. Connecting your first service doesn't change that. When you're ready for live gifts, turn off the switch on the Test mode card. The card reads Live when donations are being charged.
