How to Connect Your Fundraiser to Stripe

The fundraiser module requires a Stripe payment processor account. Don’t have a Stripe account? Click here to create one.

In order to open your Fundraiser and begin collecting payments, you must first connect your fundraiser to a default Stripe account. The account you connect here is the default account for all future fundraisers unless you set your module to allow individual fundraisers to go to separate Stripe accounts.

Let’s get you connected!

1. First be sure you have created an account with Stripe (click here)
2. Once created, stay logged into your Stripe account and open a new browser tab (it makes the connection easier)
3. Log into your PTOffice account (se sure you have Fundraiser module access)
4. Go to Fundraisers > Settings and click the Payment Setup tab
5. Click the “Connect to Stripe” button
6. Enter the required Live and Test credentials (find my credentials)
7. Click Activate If you have a Stripe account with multiple sub-accounts, you may be asked to choose which sub-account to direct your funds to)
8. Click Save

Your funds will now be directed to the Stripe account you connected.

IMPORTANT: We recommend a one month interval deposit schedule to be sure you have funds available in the case of a refund!
