PayPal Gateway Extension could be your first choice as it offers a discounted rate of 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction for (eligible) nonprofit projects against 4.4% plus a fixed fee for international sales.
And if you go for PayPal Payments Standard (version), it involves no monthly, setup, cancellation, or hidden fees.
The PayPal Payments Pro (version), however, involves monthly fees and other charges for some additional benefits.
PayPal Gateway Extension from Webinane brings in a bunch of special features you can expect from the world’s most widespread, well-known, flexible, and fraudproof eCommerce system.
There is another advantage.
While PayPal has a worldwide presence with over 260 million active customers, many of your donors might be having a PayPal account.
It could save you some more money by avoiding currency conversion charges.
It doesn’t require any integration tweaks on your part and the extension has been fully integrated into the Lifeline Donations plugin.
