==Which Payment Method is "best"?==
Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bang for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "'''please start a PayPal subscription'''". Links are above.
Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bang for our membership buck!


But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.75 and 3.1 percent.  
The "best" method is an '''automatic monthly PayPal subscription'''.


Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:
Other payment methods (like cash, Square, Interact, or e-Transfer) all require manual processing and increase our volunteer's workload.
* Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer
* Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)


For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment outweighs the processing fee. '''If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription'''.
You can set up a subscription on the [https://my.protospace.ca/paymaster Member Portal].
