NonProfitEasy Partners with Bluefin to Process Not-for-profit Credit Card Payments Online

Online credit card processing can be a thorny issue for small and medium not-for-profit organizations, as complications with security and PCI (News - Alert) compliance often quickly become tedious, expensive, and technically challenging.

Not-for-profits looking to process online credit card payments now have the option within the NonProfitEasy customer relationship management (CRM) platform, thanks to a new partnership with Bluefin Payment Systems, provider of integrated, cloud-based payment and security technology.

NonProfitEasy is a Web-based CRM solution built around integrated core modules that manage interactions, donors, memberships, volunteers, events, communication, and programs. The company reports the addition of online payment processing will help the company’s customers to process payments for donations, ticket sales, merchandise sales, memberships, auctions, and other fundraising activities.

"We started NonProfitEasy to help nonprofits manage their logistics and paperwork," said Lomesh Shah, founder of NonProfitEasy. "Today, with Bluefin, NonProfitEasy can help our customers more affordably manage and track payment processing."

NonProfitEasy specializes in small- to mid-size nonprofit organizations, which are particularly challenged by the technical and financial issues involved in online credit card payments.

"Bluefin was already one of the payment processing options for our customers so when we decided to simplify the payment system and go with one provider, Bluefin was a natural choice," Shah said. "We wanted the process to be secure, affordable, and simple to use, so we sought a partner who understood the needs and budget constraints of our nonprofit customers. Bluefin certainly meets that criteria and has delivered an integrated, competitively-priced payment processing feature that offers the highest level of security without sacrificing performance."

NonProfitEasy was launched in 2011 to offer not-for-profits a software platform that was both affordable and appropriate for the work they do.

“The not-for-profits who have selected NonProfitEasy as their software platform have consistently expressed their great satisfaction with the suite of services provided by NonProfitEasy,” said Shane Harwell, VP of Business Development for Bluefin. “As we have worked with not-for-profits, they often convey that the NonProfitEasy donor data management tools are very practical, user-friendly, and priced for the small to mid-sized nonprofit. For Bluefin to now be selected as the exclusive donation processing provider for NonProfitEasy is a natural progression between two companies who are so committed to overall value, donor data security, and stellar customer care.”
