I am looking for a robust donation system for a website I run. I need the ability to accept credit cards and a quick and easy way for people to signup for monthly subscriptions. I would also like to be able to email/stay in touch with donors. What do you suggest?
Paypal is the easiest answer, you can set it up, with the code for a donate button in about five minutes, if I can do it, anyone can
Depending on your forum software, there's several ways of doing it. With Xenforo, you can set up user upgrades with paypal. You can also just accept paypal donations directly. I also recommend taking a look at google checkout, as they have far fewer fees than paypal.
