When did we get so wonderful?

Back in 2016, we launched wonderful.org - a free charity fundraising platform that teamed up with some of the UK’s most deserving causes. It’s where our journey began, and it’s why we’ve always believed in using tech for good.

The Origin of Wonderful Payments

Endorsed by the Money Saving Expert

Our platform quickly gained traction and was endorsed by the Money Saving Expert. But with all that success came a challenge - the high cost of card processing started holding us back, limiting how much we could do.

Moving to Open Banking

Switching to Open Banking was the game-changer. It didn’t just solve our problem, it solved yours too. We believe businesses and charities shouldn’t be hit with high fees just to get paid.

Continued growth

We’re still proudly providing fee-free services to UK charities, because we know charities, donors, and fundraisers do amazing work every day. Now, you and your customers can help support those efforts with a wonderful, hassle-free checkout experience.

“We’ve been using Wonderful for a few months now. Reducing payment processing costs by 99% is a winner, but we’ve also been very impressed with the payments technology. We can use Wonderful's One app to take payment in the showroom or generate a payment link which we email to our customer. Either way, the money is in our account instantly and we remove all the faff of getting paid.

The Wonderful team is very helpful so if you’re new to open banking or have any questions about how it works, they’re always on hand. Getting started is straightforward and you’ll be saving straight away. Highly recommend.”

“What we like about Wonderful.org is that it is truly a no-fuss platform for people to use to donate to a charity. Easy for people to donate on and easy for us as a charity to log in and find out the information we need for our records.”

“I’ve been really happy to use Wonderful – we’ve predominantly used it for our company challenges to raise money for a small, lesser-known charity. It’s enormously reassuring to know that all the money raised goes to the charity.”

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Contact our support team.

Why choose Wonderful payment solutions for processing payments?
Quite simply: it’s fast, simple and secure. You save a fortune on merchant processing fees compared to debit and credit card processing, and if that’s not enough you get to support our charitable giving platform, enabling hundreds of charities to process donations for free.
How much will payment processing cost?
1p per transaction! Depending which plan you sign up for, you will have either 1,000 or 2,000 transactions included within your plan. Any additional transactions will be billed at 1p/transaction, whether you process 1 additional transaction, or 100,000 additional transactions.
Are there any setup costs or hidden charges?
No, absolutely no hidden charges! You simply need to select which plan you wish to sign up for: Starter plan (£9.99/month, including 1,000 transactions) or our Plus plan (£19.99/month, including 2,000 transactions and access to a plugin integration or our Public API). Any additional transactions outside those included in your monthly plan will simply be billed at 1p/transaction.
Is payment settlement instant? When will I receive the funds?
The payment is instant. You will receive the funds usually within a couple of seconds, but it can take up to a maximum of 2 hours. This is because the payment is processed in real-time, but the bank may take a little time to process the payment and make the funds available in your account.
Can I process refunds?
Yes - Wonderful allows you to process refunds for your customers. Whether it is a payment processed via our API or one of our e-commerce plugins, you can action customer refunds from within your Wonderful account, instantly moving the funds back into your customers’ accounts via Open Banking.
Can I get my money back if I'm not happy?
Absolutely! At Wonderful, customer satisfaction is key. We hope that you will be happy with our products, but should you have any issues at all, we offer a 7 day money-back guarantee. Please email [email protected] for help with this.
How do instant bank payments work?
Easy. You generate a QR code or a payment link to display at checkout or send to your customer. They scan/click/tap and authorise the payment using their mobile bank app or online bank account. You get paid instantly.
