Hey Lizzy, we are probably going to go with Kindful. It seems to integrate really well with most things. Unfortunately, Maestro, so far as we can tell, is not one of those. </div>

<div dir="auto">That’s so funny because we’ve used LGL for years and HATE it. We’ve had so many problems linking it with payments, forms, newsletters, online donations, online inquiries etc along with linking to our bank/quickbooks and I personally can’t get
past the clunky user interface or back end: </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">We are using a CRM called Little Green Light that is linked to our point of sale system on our website for donations (We use a POS called Stripe). Stripe is linked to our bank account. We've had security issues with Stripe but it does
allow us to track donors into our CRM. <br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience integrating Maestro with their website/donation/payment platforms? <br>
<br>
We've done a demo, my professional fundraising company has dug in to assess this. Nothing indicates Maetro will allo integration with donations, payments, sponsorships, website, bank. And that's bummer. <br>
<br>
Thoughts welcomed! <u></u><u></u></p>
