UK £ Equivilant to www.chipin.com - collecting money for game servers etc.?

PESolution · 21 Nov 2011 at 19:28

Hello,

Going to be setting up a server with a mid sized community and want an easy way to manage server donations like that offered at www.chipin.com - but it looks as if they only deal in dollars.

Can anybody suggest a good £ equivilant?

Thanks,

Pes x

EDIT - Solved, http://www.groupay.co.uk

Was looking at paypal but i want a "widget" so taht people can track progress and who has / hasnt donated

Chipin suports sending money through paypal which will be the best way but its the front end management i need

Set up a vBulletin forum and add a subscription plugin.

I use gameservers.com which have a clan pay system.

Not sure if it would help or not

Combination of being lazy and not tech enough

in my clan days everyone snailed mailed a few quid to the guy who rented the server and that was enough

i dont understand why you can just have a sticky on your clan forum each month stating whos donated what

It's very very straight forward, the only issue would be the cost of setting up vBulletin. The plugin for the PayPal subscription is really simple to implement.

You're right - however were not even a clan and dont have a forum. Just about 15 of us who have started playing BF3 together.

I gues ill get a mate to setup a V Bulletin forum for us

Use mybb it is free. You don't even need a forum. If you are communicating over IRC for example you could all setup a subscription to ones person paypal account, the one person that knows how to set up the server. The only cost then would be the server costs. But there would have to be an element of trust, but if that is not a problem then you should be ok. Only the person who sets up the server needs a paypal account. everyone else can use debit cards. You can rent dedicated servers for £20 a month. Why do you need 15 to pay for it.

We dont need 15, but we have 15, going to get a 64man so around 60£ a month slightly less, and if we buy 3 months upfront around 150£, so ~£10 each
