Update: One pain point of this promotion has been the daily card limits. But there is a setting you can change in Clover to remove that limitation!

1. Go to Settings and log in to your Clover account.

2. Scroll down to the Ecommerce section and select “Fraud tools”

3. Select Edit on “Transaction Amount and Velocity Limits”

4. Select from the pencil edit buttons on both the number of transactions on a single card and the number of transactions per IP. Increase both of those and your donors will no longer see any card limits! 

Remind your donors that the charge date can be the day of or the day after the transaction. That means they should ideally finish all spending by midnight tonight!

You can view the Tefillin Connection live leaderboard and donate here.

Three days ago, Tefillin Connection couldn’t accept Paze, but in just a few days the organization raised $11,000+ in $10 donations from close to 300 people. The best part is that it didn’t cost the donors even one dollar.

Here is how you can do the same for your organization before the Paze promo ends this Thursday, 9/10:

Paze is running a spend $10, get $10 back promotion through 9/10. Every purchase of $10 or more paid with Paze checkout earns a $10 statement credit, up to 10 times per card, on every eligible card you own. That’s up to $100 per card.

The catch is, not many retailers or platforms accept Paze, but Clover does.

So if you open a Clover account, you can accept Paze payments right away.

Tefillin Connection even created a live leaderboard and giveaway page where you can watch the donations come in via this epic promo!

I called Clover sales at 877-685-6873 on behalf of Tefillin Connection, applied for an account with no hardware on the $9 per month plan, and was approved on that same phone call. You’ll need your EIN, your 501(c)(3) founding date, officer details, social, and more basic info, plus the bank account you want funds deposited into.

Online transactions run 3.5% plus 10 cents, so a $10 donation should net $9.55.

Once approved, you have to:

1. Log into the Clover dashboard and go to Account & Setup, then Ecommerce, then Payment links.

2. Create one link with a fixed $10 amount.

3. Create a second link that accepts any amount, for people who want to give more.

4. Under Account & Setup, Payment receipts, put your 501(c)(3) acknowledgment language into the receipt header and footer. Every donor automatically gets an emailed receipt.

5. Test with a real $10 donation and confirm the Paze button appears with the promo banner and that your receipts are working.

Then point a page on your site and let people know about it! The Tefillin Connection donation link is here if you want to see how it’s laid out.

Some important notes:

Clover tends to error out after about 6 payments in a row on the same card. Earlier donations still went through, and donors can switch cards and come back to the first card a day or two later. Tell them that up front so they don’t think your page is broken.

A brand-new merchant account that suddenly takes hundreds of small donations can trigger a risk review, so tell your rep what you’re expecting.

These donations may or may not be tax write-off eligible. So each donor will have to consult their accountant about that.

You can donate $10 with Paze to Tefillin Connection here, and please share this post with any organization that could use it!
