Best Non-profit Merchant

I'm currently working with my fifth customer and implementing FlipCause and my customers just love their services and customer service. So when my clients are happy I'm happy.

PROS

Customer service is their superpower. The software is definitely the easiest to use but their customer service is beyond anything I'm accustomed to. As a website developer I"m always advising clients on merchant services, and flipcause is my number one for nonprofits.

CONS

The portal is a little dated but has not reflection of the product or service.

Vendor Response

Randy, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We love to hear what's working for you and the opportunity to provide timely and personal support to help our partnered organizations grow and do more!

All in One Winner

Since our first day, it has been really easy to work with FlipCause. Once you get used to the fact that you really don't talk on the phone but communicate via email, it's so easy. They also are really good about teaching people how to work within FlipCuase on their own via instructional Loom videos. Love those!

PROS

For our small nonprofit, FlipCause handles so much more than we could on our own - the website updating is amazing, the campaign creators are geniuses, and the reports are relatively easy to pull.

CONS

It seems there should be an easy way to run a report of the funds being transferred to the bank. I have yet to figure out how to do that easily and spend far too much time pulling out registrations versus donations so they can be entered into Quickbooks correctly.

Reason for choosing Flipcause

The range of services provided far exceeded the others, and knowing the annual fee wouldn't change, regardless of what other services they added, made it easy to choose them. We also tried Network for Good for one year and found it too expensive for what we needed, and they didn't handle the website, so we switched to FlipCause who made it super easy to switch - they did all the importing etc.

Reasons for switching to Flipcause

They were way more than we needed and the cost was much, much more - and they didn't handle our website!

Dreadful Company + Terrible Customer Service

Not one benefit. This was supposed to be for our agency website. We serve the homeless with severe and persistent mental illness and did not receive the support needed. What a waste of money - $3,600 + a pending $1,800 that I am currently disputing with our credit card company.

PROS

I have nothing positive to say about this company!

CONS

We never got it to work. We paid for it for 2 years and now that I'm trying to terminate the 3rd year that I did not request, I am being given the run around.

Reasons for switching to Flipcause

We wanted more control over our website and was told that this was a friendly platform.

Vendor Response

Hi Mary Ann, I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience! Your refund was processed 8/1 and you should see it in your account in 3-5 business days from that date. Our goal is to provide value to your organization; not to keep you locked into our platform. Your positive experience is extremely important to us and we will be reaching out directly to make sure this is fully resolved.

Is Flipcause For You?

Overall we are happy with flipcause and believe you will be too!

PROS

We love the ease of use of the campaign builder, the beautiful reporting tool, Easy maintenance of the donor records, The simplification of the donor giving process and time it takes them to complete their contribution is good.

CONS

We believe the payout process needs upgrading to speed up the process and if the fee's can reduced even more or eliminated would be of great benefit as well as more of the donor dollar can go to the cause.

Reasons for switching to Flipcause

The Processing fees, Lenght of time it took for payouts, Dated donor forms and campaign pages made for a lengthy user experience. Overall That product was not for us.

Flipcause is fabulous

Flipcause makes campaign management easy and efficient, with clear reporting, user-friendly design, and an excellent end-user experience.

PROS

Flipcause is so intuitive and easy to use. I love all the features, especially the campaign tools and reporting. The customer support is superb! My success team is professional, efficient, and timely.

CONS

We use a newsletter and website platform that does not integrate with Flipcause. Having said that, Flipcause is still easy to use, I have been able to create a design in Flipcause that appears seamless with our website platform.

Reasons for switching to Flipcause

Cost and functionality. Blackbaud was 4 times as costly, and didn't offer the easy functionality of Flipcause.
