For politician websites, what is a good donation service to use?

Question

I noticed different websites processing donations through their website. What should one use for politican-type websites?

Answer 1

I would go with PayPal. Relatively simple to set up, quite powerful donation advice via the Instant Payment Notification feature, and well trusted by the community.

Have a look at a simple site I whipped up in a couple of days using the PayPal Instant Payment Notification feature: I Saved A Baby

As the donations come in, my website is informed by PayPal instantly and I redraw the chart if required - all automatically. The payment advice contains a lot of data about the donator - including address, email, etc. which could be very useful for further campaigns.
