Gifts come in four ways: online, by check, by phone and at events. Then someone enters each one again in their donor records and again in QuickBooks. Method Pay* lets you take donations online or in person, right inside Method, with every gift synced to QuickBooks. Nelson walks through it live in Method, then takes your questions.
✓Gifts on your branded donor page
✓Card or bank transfer (ACH)
✓Monthly donors on autopay
✓Gifts by phone or at events
✓Donations land in QuickBooks
✓Track gifts by program or fund
What we’ll cover:
We follow one donor’s gift all the way to QuickBooks, live in Method.
1A gift from your donor page
Your donor gives by card or bank transfer on a page with your logo and colors. The donation is logged in Method for you, with nothing retyped.
2A monthly donor on autopay
The donor saves their card once and each monthly gift charges on schedule. Automatic emails for failed payments and expiring cards mean nobody chases lapsed donors by hand.
3A gift by phone or at an event
Key in a card for a phone gift, or take a gift in person at your event with Tap to Pay. It all lands on the same donor record.
4The donation lands in QuickBooks
Each gift syncs to QuickBooks as a sales receipt, with the processing fee booked and the deposit matched to your bank. We’ll show it live so your bookkeeper knows what to expect.
5Track gifts by program or fund
Tag each donation with a class to report by program or fund. Available with QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced.

Frequently asked questions:
I already use Method for donations. Is this for me?
Yes. You’ll see exactly where Method Pay fits on the donation records you already keep, including monthly giving and your donor page.
Do I need to be a Method customer to attend?
No. Method Pay is built into Method, so you would need Method to use it. If you’re still looking at donor management tools, this is a good way to see how donations work in Method before you decide. If it fits, you can
start a free trial after the session.
Will you cover pricing?
Method Pay is pay-as-you-go, with no setup fees, monthly fees or cancellation fees. We’ll explain how pricing works during the session, including where rates vary by payment type.
Is Method Pay available outside the US?
Not yet. Method Pay is currently available to US businesses and nonprofits only.
I can’t make it live. Should I still register?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets the recording.
Yes, there’s a Method for year-end giving.
