Hello!
Like you, we use PayPal for online sales. We just skipped over the use of Wufoo or website widget forms and chose to grab the contact info directly from PayPal and enter it manually into the database. We create separate "sales buttons" for membership (with a drop down menu for membership level), for donor gifts and for special event ticket sales. Buttons are available on each corresponding webpage and also available on an all inclusive "Support" page. The Support page is in development, but our goal is to make it as easy an accessible as possible. We still have a ways to go, but you can view us at www.tmocg.org
I am interested in knowing what others use and what works well, because we just added the online sales feature to our site a year ago. Prior to that we did not have an online option for gifts or membership. Primarily because we are a very small museum with one paid staff and a high percentage of older-senior volunteers (not baby-boomers). As we move forward we are looking at options for more online activity.
Looking forward to hearing what others are using our there.

Good morning,
We are currently looking at different updates to our webiste to give visitors a more user-friendly way to join/renew membership and donate to the Museum. We are adding a monthly-giving option for our annual fund donations, as well. I am wondering if any of you prefer a web form module for online giving, which could handle getting a membership, adding on a monthly donation option, adding an Adopt an Animal, etc. We currently use Wufoo web forms; however, I do not feel that they will be able to provide a clean look once we add a number of different options for people.
Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
