Good to know

Account Switching

Although Funraise Payments requires a new Stripe account, Stripe allows users to manage multiple accounts with the same email address. You can use the account switcher in upper-left corner of your Stripe dashboard to ensure you're viewing your Funraise Payments Stripe Account.

Team Members

Since Funraise Payments requires a new Stripe account, ensure that you've added any team members to this new account that might need access.

Stripe Radar

Your Funraise Payments account will come with Stripe Radar rules that can help prevent fraudulent transactions. This includes AVS and CVV verification credit card checks. You can customize these rules to fit your organization.

Payment methods

Stripe enables you to collect Card, ACH, and Apple Pay payments.

Processing Fees

Processing fees are standard for all organizations and are set by Funraise Payments. With Funraise Payments, Stripe does not set your processing fees, Funraise does.

Phone verification

Stripe enables you to create an account and begin accepting payments the same day. Be aware, it is common that Stripe requires phone number verification as a follow-up step a few days later—if Stripe begins the process to request your phone number verification, transactions may fail until you've verified the number.
