[MainstreetTowns] Online and Facebook Donations

[Main Street Enid - Kelly Tompkins]

Our little PayPal donate button at the bottom of our website doesn't do
any good because we don't push it or make it more obvious on the page
like we should. 

But we do use PayPal for several things! You can create buttons for
one-time any amount donations, specific amounts, or payment
subscriptions. 

We have some members who are on the automatic subscription of monthly
payments. We also have an option to split up a $100 donation into 4
monthly payments. It automatically stops after those 4 payments. 

The only drawback I know of is dealing with the fees and accounting.
QuickBooks and PayPal don't get along, so we have to manually enter the
income and the fees as expenses. 

But it's worth it!
