    Hi there,


    Hope you are well.


    It has been suggested that jotform might be able to provide us with the capabilities to be able to take donations directly on our website. I was wondering if you could provide me some examples of some other charities who have used jotform for a donation form and provide me with some additional details on:


    • Privacy and security: Do we still require a security system like recaptcha to protect us from spam and abuse
    • Integration: Can your forms integrate with donman and provide donations directly into the system
    • payment system: do we still need to implement an ecommerce solution (paypal,bank,etc) or do you provide this as well.
    • If you do provide this, how is it integrated and is there a transaction and interchange rate applied to donations.

    If you could please contact me via email on Simone.Lavelle@acmff.org.au that would be great.


    Looking forward to hearing from you.


    Thanks and regards,


    Simone Lavelle

    Hello Simone,

    Yes, you can create custom forms and integrate them with any of our payment processors. Then you can select the payment type as "Collect donation" on the payment settings:

    Here is a simple form integrated with PayPal Personal payment field: https://form.jotform.com/202867820178058

    You may also create a custom recurring donation form: https://www.jotform.com/help/376-setting-up-a-custom-recurring-donation-form

    Privacy and security: Do we still require a security system like Recaptcha to protect us from spam and abuse

    All our forms are secure in themselves. You can add a captcha field for added security: https://www.jotform.com/help/205-how-to-add-a-captcha-field

    Integration: Can your forms integrate with donman and provide donations directly into the system

    You can integrate your forms with any of our authorized payment processors and set up the payment type as collect donations: https://www.jotform.com/help/323-mastering-payment-form-integrations-with-jotform

    payment system: do we still need to implement an eCommerce solution (PayPal, bank, etc), or do you provide this as well.

    You just need to integrate the payment field into the form and connect it to your account so that you can get payments into your processor account. We just provide an integration app - which you have to manually connect on the form.

    If you do provide this, how is it integrated and is there a transaction and interchange rate applied to donations?

    You can check out the guide provided above to add the payment app to your form. JotForm does not charge any transaction fee. It can be charged only by the payment processor if any.

    Please review and let us know if you have any further questions.
