Louise -- It's in Admin>Donations (right above Billing). You must set up a Stripe account, and groups.io will take 5% off the top of each donation.

See ?for details.

It actually didn't take long,? but this delay needs to be mentioned in a more understandable way.? ON that page,
and in the help & FAQ .

Spam mitigation is quite normal.?

I uploaded a list of 1,000+ email addresses and it took about an hour or so.

More info on the limit can be found here:

I am paying 10.00 a month I have the premium plan. but I don't see it when I go to my group .

I was almost done, just had to upload the list of names & UIDs into the INVITE for my ~80 subscribers,
nearly all waiting for that easy-to-use reply to get signed in
When I was hit with this message:
?????????? You have reached the limit for number of invites that can be sent out without approval. Once your
?????????? new invites have been approved, they will be sent out. You will receive a notification when this happens

LIMIT?? What limit?? Not having been warned or able to find anything on this,? I thought I did something wrong ...
Who approves? how Long??
??? I? msg'd everyone that there was an unspecified limit and it may take time before they'd get the invites..

It actually didn't take long,? but this delay needs to be mentioned in a more understandable way.? ON that page,

doesn't work. All I get is "report message" no delete under more

Hi Barry,

If you're a Moderator, you'll need the Owner to give you the correct privileges.? If you're the owner, you should see options like the following - I redacted the text :)

If I may comment - I read somewhere that as long as you are an owner in both groups and you use your the same email address for both groups, the single fee will allow you to transfer both groups. Is this untrue?

Susan -- That is completely untrue. The payment plan is associated with?the destination group. Who owns it is irrelevant, except to the extent that person is able to perform the necessary functions (e.g. send invitations, promote the transfer agent to a Moderator, etc.).?

I’m considering moving 2 Yahoo groups to groups.io, one with about 924 members and one with about 216 members.? I understand from the Help file that an annual fee of $110 applies to use the move technique described in the Help files.? Would this apply to both groups?? That is, would it cost us $220 to move 2 groups??

Karen -- Yes, the price to be paid is per group.

FYI Karen:? while tools are used to perform the migration, it still requires a person to do the work for each group.?

If none of your Y!G content is worth saving, you can manually create the new group(s) and invite everyone to join it.? That's what I'm doing (I'm almost done).

This link provides a pretty good idea of what needs to happen:

We always have members applying to our Yahoo group and most of them are approved after they explain why they believe they're eligible. One of our owners is adding some right this minute. Our transfer status is that "the transfer is being processed." We have not yet received the actual email about that and “transfer” has not yet shown up in our group as a member who needs to be elevated to moderator.

Louise -- What are you trying to do? Pay for a transfer, or set up donations within your group?

Please note that in either case you must pay for Premium. Neither can be done under the Basic plan.

Bruce

I would also suggest that when you invite the transfer agent, you use a qualified name. “Groups.io Transfer <[email protected]>” just use the part inside the ""? I have tried it both ways and had more success with the full name.?

We are not, unfortunately, a non-profit – the Greater Rockridge Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council is considered a part of Oakland, CA city government, specifically the Neighborhood Services group in the Police Department.? So I can’t show you a 501(c)(3).?

That wouldn't make any difference. The non-profit discount applies only to the Enterprise plan, which itself is quite a bit more expensive.

If using the tools would cost $220, is there a way I could do it by hand for free??

There have been multiple messages over the last few days discussing this very thing, and I suggest you read them and come back with further questions. See also:?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroups

Summarizing:? If your goal is to do this on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, moving the subscribers by hand is relatively easy. Moving files/photos and stuff like that is quite a bit more difficult. Migrating your old group messages to groups.io without paying the upgrade fee is pretty much impossible.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Pablo, so you are saying that if you do NOT transfer the Yahoo group, you can just invite members without having to go to the Premium Yearly Plan, is that correct?

Jan -- That is correct. You can set up a group on the Basic plan, invite the subscribers from your Yahoo Group, and pay nothing.

However, if you want your content (files/photos/etc) to be copied over for you...and especially if you want your old messages to be moved over...you must pay the piper. So the first thing you have to decide is how valuable this old content may be to the continued functioning of the group.

I went to the link you posted above and then someone posted that they could just copy and paste email addresses into the invitations box.?

That will work.

I'm nervous that I will mess it up.? Someone said they put email addresses in a file and then uploaded.

You can do either, or both.

Maybe getting too old for this, gee.

It's not that hard to invite people, and there's really little you can do to mess things up. At worst, the invitations you attempt to send will not go out; at best, you will gain new confidence in how to run your group.?

Bruce
