Recurring donations
A study in the US found that charities that accept recurring payments see 30% more donations than charities that don’t use recurring payments. Xendit is proud to be serving many charities with a recurring payments option.
If you want to accept recurring payments, create a recurring charge in the “Recurring” tab under “Accept Payments” in your xendit dashboard. As an example, should your members wish to make contributions on a weekly or monthly basis, the invoices will be generated and sent automatically. You can also choose to set reminders for upcoming contributions for your members as an option.
