In order to accept credit card payments, we need for you to setup a Stripe (credit card processor) account.
Stripe charges 501(c) nonprofits that request non-profit pricing, 2.2% plus $0.30/transaction for Visa, Mastercard and Discover, and 3.5% for American Express credit cards.
The steps to setup a Stripe Account:
1. Register for a Stripe account and activate it.
a. Create a Stripe account at https://dashboard.stripe.com/register.
b. Once you’ve created an account, Stripe will verify your business information and approve your account, usually within a few minutes of submission.
c. To see if your account has been verified, go to Settings-> Compliance -> Verification.
Once your Stripe account is activated, you will need to request Non-Profit pricing. To do so, you will need to email nonprofit@stripe.com with the following information:
• Your EIN, or a letter from the IRS designating your 501(c)(3) status
• Confirmation of the primary email address associated with your Stripe account
• Confirmation that greater than 80% of your payment volume will be tax deductible donations.
Approval for non-profit pricing is generally completed within a week.
