Enhanced payment and security features<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>The CanadaHelps transaction fee includes three payment and security features that ensure charities can continue processing donations worry-free and hassle-free. These features are: automatic credit card updating, built-in fraud protection, and smart payment retries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/lock-1-768x614.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4>Automatic credit card updating<\/h4>\n<p>CanadaHelps Credit Card Updater feature works directly with card networks to proactively update stored card details whenever a donor receives a new card, whether due to expiration, loss, or fraud replacements. This reduces failed payments and offsets one of the biggest retention challenges nonprofits face \u2013 expired or changed donor credit card information.<\/p>\n<h4>Fraud protection<\/h4>\n<p>To help your charity prevent attacks, robust fraud protection services are included in the CanadaHelps transaction fee. Our fraud detection tools analyze real-time transaction data to identify and block suspicious behaviour, such as unusual donation patterns or high-risk geographies, before it becomes problematic.<\/p>\n<h4>Payment retries \u2013 no interruption to monthly gifts<\/h4>\n<p>When a monthly donor\u2019s payment fails due to insufficient funds, card issues, or technical glitches, CanadaHelps&#8217; payment retries feature automatically detects the failed transactions and re-attempts them at optimized intervals. This feature dramatically decreases interruptions to monthly gifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u200d<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-embed\">\n<h2 id=\"DonorCover\">Why not have donors cover transaction fees?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>In fact, many charities do just that. Charities can choose whether or not they ask donors to cover the processing fee during their payment checkout flow.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, CanadaHelps has A\/B tested with defaulting to donors covering the transaction fees. But we now leave the option to ask donors to cover processing charges in the hands of charities. You decide whether to turn the \u201cCover the Fees\u201d checkbox (pictured below) on or off when you set up your CanadaHelps Donation Form.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Victoria-Foundation1-768x614.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-align-fullwidth w-richtext-figure-type-image\">\n<div><\/div><figcaption><em>Donors have the option to self-select to cover the CanadaHelps processing fee on their donation.
