Secure forms allow your organization to accept 256 bit encrypted (the industry standard) information via online forms. This process does not 'real time' process their credit card information, but allows you to hand process it as if it was via telephone. This does mean that you should be able to accept credit cards (merchant account) already. If you currently are not able to accept credit cards, but would like to, contact me, and I can give you information on low cost merchant services for nonprofits. Usually these secure forms are for accepting credit card information as for donations, event registrations, sales of a few items, etc. There can be multiple secure forms, and each one is totally customized specifically for your use. Each time a secure form is submitted, you will receive an email copy of their transaction, minus their credit card information. To retrieve this credit card information, you will log into the admin page where you can securely print or download new orders in tab delimited/excel spreadsheet format.
