Talk:Set up a channel for donations

We can avoid that kind of scenario by using the OD donations purely for project expenses not for people. Bounty based income would be a similar can of worms. But once the software is able to produce income, OD will set up as a normal company and pay people like normal. --Nad 20:13, 19 Dec 2006 (NZST)

is the Template:Donate going to be used for bounty? --Phalseid 09:44, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

OrganicDesign is not trading, all money that goes into the OD account is purely donations for this site and its development efforts. --Nad 10:15, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

so you want a non-paypal way to accept CC, right? i can set up a 501c(3) (non profit) here for that, and then xfer funds to you/OD via paypal. is that right? --Phalseid 10:19, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

I don't want non-paypal, I thought it was just that I'm not allowed paypal for cc-transactions cos I'm non-authenticated and have no bank accounts etc... so if you can arrange a way for any joe punter to make a normal credit card payment and then it ends up in our paypal, then that sounds like a goer ;-)

We're unlikely to get any money, but if we do it'd mainly for hardware to develop and test on etc --Nad 10:51, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

okeydokey, enter PAYMENTEXPERTS.COM stage left. i have all these pet projects. where can i get some smart people???? by far the most valuable resource is ^competent people's time. --Phalseid 10:56, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

Do they (501...) give you some html you can put in your site, or an iframe or something...? --Nad 11:32, 13 Dec 2006 (NZDT)
