Likelihood to Recommend	Jiosdev No answers on this topic	Ministry Brands The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events. This would not fit a for profit business very well. Incentivized Canon1955$ Sommer Parish Manager Read full review
