FAQs about LGL Forms
Can I publish the forms on my website?
Yes. Once you have built and published your form, you can link to it from your website or add a snippet of HTML code on your website to embed it.
Which processor should we use?
Your choices are Stripe and PayPal. We recommend using Stripe, which supports payments via credit card, ACH, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and allows for a more comprehensive integration with QuickBooks. PayPal is a nice add-on, because it allows your donors to check out using PayPal and Venmo.
Is it possible to migrate existing recurring donations into Little Green Light?
If you want to migrate existing recurring donations and have Little Green Light (or LGL Forms specifically) manage those instead, that is possible as long as your recurring donations are already being run through a Stripe account. If they are not currently run through Stripe, it may also be possible for you to work with your current processor and Stripe to move them into Stripe first. See this Knowledge Base article for details.
Is support included?
Yes! Our office hours are M-F between 9:00am and 7:00pm EST, and we respond to most questions within an hour (during business hours). In addition to email support, live Q&A webinars hosted by an LGL staff person are held weekly.
How much are donation processing costs?
Fees for donation processing are charged by your selected payment processor (Stripe or PayPal.) The costs vary by processor (Stripe charges 2.2% +$0.30 per transaction for approved nonprofits).
How can I receive nonprofit rates?
You can qualify for nonprofit rates by sending a copy of your nonprofit (501c3 or 501c4) designation letter along with some basic account information to your selected payment processor.
My nonprofit is based outside the U.S.
