Stripe + Funraise = ❤️
Stripe is a leading credit card processor and we love it for several reasons:
- It's easy to get started with Stripe.
- Stripe offers a discounted processing fee for nonprofits! (2.2% + $0.30)*
- Stripe has built in, customizeable, fraud protection.**
With each transaction, Funraise sends the following information back to Stripe:
- Allocation
- Form
- Recurring (T/F)
- Soft Credit (email address)
- Donation tags
- Anonymous (T/F)
- Operations Tip Amount
- Campaign Site Name

- Stripe's typical pricing structure is 2.9% + $0.30 but they offer discounted pricing for non-profit organizations: 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction (+1% for foreign transactions) and 3.5% for American Express transactions. Make sure to email nonprofit@stripe.com and mention that you're a new Funraise customer to apply the discount!
**Stripe offers customizable fraud protection, called Radar, to help you minimize fraud. At a minimum, we recommend requiring Zip Code and CVC matches.
