Questions About Automated Payments

  • How do automated payments work?
    Click the button for the support level you can afford. You will be prompted to log in to your Paypal account or enter payment information if you don't have a Paypal account. After subscribing to your support level, Paypal will automatically deduct the support amount from your payment method of choice each month.
  • Can I cancel my automated support?
    Yes. You can cancel any time you want. We're not a collection agency. We just want to make it easy for you to give.
  • What if I just want to send in a check every month?
    Go ahead. We're glad for any way you want to give. Click here for our Post Mail support page.
  • Do I need a Paypal account?
    No. You can donate through Paypal using any major credit or debit card. However, if you would like to use your checking account to make donations, you may have to have a paypal account, due to the fact that all banks are different and some do not allow Paypal this access. Creating a paypal account is very simple and incredibly safe. If you do not have a Paypal account and you do not wish to start one, simply click on the link at the bottom of the screen after making sure that you are signing up for the right amount of monthly support. This link is the one circled in red in the picture below. Then follow the on screen directions.
