Is it possible to process donations on a company credit card?

Joe McLaughlin

A woman called our office while we were closed for the 4th of July holiday and left a message asking if she could make a donation through our website using a company credit card (so the name on the credit card is that of a corporation rather than an individual). I assumed she must be able to but I can't actually figure out the correct fields to use to process it. At the moment, our donation form has both Donor First and Last Name fields and Billing First and Last Name fields.  I think we tried just about every possible combination of putting this woman's name and the company name into those fields but it just kept being declined. Does anyone know how to properly process the company name so that the credit card charge will go through? Since this is the first person that has ever contacted us about doing this, I can't imagine we're losing many donations from people wishing to use a company card, but I'd like to be able to give a correct answer, one way or the other, to anyone who calls in the future with the same issue.

Thanks for your help,

Joe
