To start collecting donations through SignUpGenius Giving, you'll need to connect a Stripe account. It’s fast, secure, and makes sure all your funds get to the right place.
Here’s what you’ll need handy:
- Your legal name and date of birth
- Your SSN (or EIN and business details if you’re setting up as an organization)
- Your bank account number and routing number for deposits
Heads up: You can use your personal details if you're fundraising as an individual. No need to be a registered nonprofit!
To connect Stripe:
- From your dashboard, click on Collect Payments.
- Choose Set Up Stripe and follow the prompts.
- Enter your personal or business info, verify your identity, and add your bank details.
That’s it! Stripe will securely process donations and transfer them to your account—usually within 1–2 business days.
Need to update your bank account information later? You can do that anytime from your Stripe dashboard.
