Setting up your Stripe account is the first step in taking payments through your Givebacks store and Fundraisers. All you’ll need to get started is an email address, your organization's EIN, and banking details. Go to Financial Management and click on Stripe Settings.
Note: You will need to transfer your Stripe account to a new officer once you are no longer with your organization. It is very important that this is not missed during officer transition.
Setting Up Your Stripe Account
Notes:
- This setup should be completed by a person who is a signer on your organization's bank account.
- You must set up a Stripe account through Givebacks, even if you have another Stripe account. Stripe for the Givebacks is different than a standard Stripe account you may have.
1. From the toolbar click on Financial Management > Stripe Settings.
2. Click Setup your Stripe Account now.
3. Enter your email address (please use an email address that is not already associated with any Stripe account) and click Continue.
4. Enter your Mobile number and click Continue.
5. Enter the verification code sent to you by text.
6. Select Nonprofit organization as the type of business and click Continue.
7. Fill in the form and click Continue at the bottom.
- Legal Business Name as it Matches your EIN
- EIN - Your EIN may be provided. If it says Verification Failed, click Replace.
- Doing Business As name
- Business Address
- Business Phone Number
8. Enter your legal representative's information and click Continue. This information should be for your organization's treasurer or president.
- Representative's First and Last Name
- Email Address
- Job Title (Officer Title)
- Date of Birth
- Home Address
- Phone Number
- Last 4 Digits of Social Security number - Why is this Need?
9. Enter Banking Details.
You can search for your banking institution and use your online sign-on credentials to link your bank account or you can select Enter bank account credentials instead to manually enter the routing and account number.
If you selected Enter bank credentials, enter the following:
-
- Routing Number
- Account Number
- Confirm Account Number
NOTE: DEBIT CARDS ARE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED WHEN SETTING UP YOUR STRIPE ACCOUNT FOR GIVEBACKS DUE TO LIMITS AND EXPIRATION DATES WHILE BANK ACCOUNTS DO NOT HAVE LIMITS OR EXPIRATIONS.
10. Verify the info is correct and click Continue.
11. Verify all information is correct and click Agree and Submit.
12. You will be taken back to your Givebacks Stripe Settings page where you can see that your Stripe has been successfully connected.
Notes:
- While you can create a Stripe account through Givebacks, the terms of the account are determined by Stripe, not Givebacks.
- If you notice your Stripe account has not been approved to process payments within the next 48 hours or has a note about additional information required, please review this article: Why is my account in "pending" status?
