    Home - Merchant Account, Donation, Shopping Cart, and Authorize.Net Integration

    Setting up the shopping cart feature on the iMinistries Church CMS is simple. We charge a one time setup fee of $100 and there is an additional $25/month added to your existing monthly payment. Please contact us to get started with the setup.

    Merchant Account

    Site visitors can pay for events, make a donation, and buy products in one transaction.

    A merchant account is the easiest way to accept online credit card transactions. By signing up for a merchant account, your website visitors don't have to be charged for individual purchases or donations.

    We partner with Authorize.net, Harris Bank and BluePay to offer inexpensive and hassle-free service. Visit our help document for more information about what a merchant account is and how to sign up for one.


    Donation

    Allow people to give and tithe online.

    After signing up for a merchant account, easily accept donations and tithes from your church website visitors. The donation feature is built into every iMinistries website, so you can add it to your menu and make it available in just a few clicks.

    Credit card transactions are posted immediately online and can be securely reviewed at any time, alleviating your accounting staff of more paperwork and repetitive tasks.

    Shopping Cart

    Users can add numerous products then check out in one transaction.

    After signing up for a merchant account, your site can host products like CDs, DVDs, and T-shirts for your visitors to purchase. They can shop, add products, register for events, make donations, and check out with one credit card charge.


    Authorize.Net Integration

    Another option for accepting payment transactions.

    Since 1996, Authorize.Net has been a leading provider of payment gateway services, managing the submission of payment transactions to the processing networks on behalf of merchant customers. All iMinistries websites are now integrated with Authorize.net. For a detailed explanation of the advantages of using an Authorize.Net merchant or gateway over PayPal or Google Checkout, check authorize.net/advantage.
