As
as 501 c3 organization we
can accept tax deductible contributions. We manage a secure
site here at Freedom Memorials. When you click
the final 'Submit' button, you will see the
lock in your browser's menu bar.
We use a gateway (PayPal) to process credit card
transactions. PayPal offers us the best overall rates
and gives you the option of paying with your credit card. You do
not have to become a PayPal member. They are PCI compliant
per the PCI Security Standards as set
forth by
the Payment Card Industry (PCI)
Security Standards Council.
Support/contribution
data is first entered in our shopping cart. We do
not ask
for sensitive credit card information. When you click the
'Submit' button on the final page, your order information is
sent to the gateway processor. When you are
on their secure site, you enter your credit card information.
They handle
100% of the processing. This
is good for us since we do not have to store and secure
personal credit information.
PayPal
has
one limitation that we believe is tolerable. You cannot
make a contribution using a credit card of more than $2,000.
This is a fraud protection regulation set up by PayPal when
using their standard IPN. This is for your protection. If you
would like to make a contribution over $2,000, please use the
Mail In option to make your donation using your personal or
business check.
The following
is from the PayPal Web site.
“PayPal is
the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service
allows anyone to pay
in any way they prefer, including through credit
cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without
sharing financial information.
PayPal has quickly become a global leader
in online payment solutions with more than 153 million accounts
worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 17 currencies around
the world, PayPal enables global ecommerce by making payments
possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.
PayPal has received more than 20 awards
for excellence from the internet industry and the business community
-most recently the 2006 Webby Award for Best Financial Services
Site and the 2006 Webby People's Voice Award for Best Financial
Services Site.
Located in San Jose, California, PayPal
was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002. Thank
you for taking time to review this information.
Sincerely,
Jason Savage
President
