A MapleGather difference

No cut of your money

Some platforms charge a hefty surcharge unless you use their in-house payment processor. We don't. You connect your own Stripe account, your processor charges its standard rate, and MapleGather takes zero platform transaction fees. Your dues are your dues.

Billing that handles the boring parts

Automatic invoices — itemized invoices for every membership term, event registration, and donation
Automatic receipts — sent on every payment — online, manual, or admin-recorded
Manual & offline payments — record checks and cash so they settle invoices exactly like online payments

One-action refunds — the money actually moves back through Stripe — no separate trip to the processor portal
Charge a stored card — take a phone-in payment or settle an offline purchase right from the record
Searchable payment history — filter by member, date, amount, method, or status, and export it
Account credit — give a member credit, refund to their balance, and let them apply it to an invoice

No payment surprises for members

Every payment sends the member an itemized receipt by email, and members add or replace their saved cards themselves in their own portal — no "can you send me a receipt?" support tickets. It's the Stripe-style candour we hold ourselves to everywhere: tell people what happened and what to do next.

On the roadmap

More billing depth ahead

Automatic renewal charging with retry when a card fails (and a portal notice showing members when the next retry lands), PayPal as a second processor, US sales-tax configuration, downloadable branded PDF invoices, QuickBooks Online and Xero exports, a per-processor sandbox mode, and nonprofit donation receipts that follow IRS Pub 1771 are on the near-term roadmap. Recurring donations and fundraising campaigns are coming too — we'll list them here as available the moment they land.
