Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I am in the process of setting up a fundraising event with a few other people. We're aiming to hold an 'event' in the not too distant future with two benefactors (charities).
We're doing well so far on getting venue, entertainment, etc either at discounted prices or free altogether!
However, I am in the process of setting up the website for the event, and hope to have online ticket sales (for the event) and the option to donate online. Now we're not set up as a charity as we're a fundraising group for 2 charities, so I can't provide Paypal with any documentation to have an account with no fees on received monies (I believe this is what happens with charity accounts on Paypal anyway - correct me if I'm wrong). I've contacted Paypal to find out more but am yet to hear back from them.
What is the best way to gather the online payments, ensuring that fees are kept to a minimum - or avoided altogether?
All advice appreciated!
Thanks
