Set up giving

Connect a payment provider so people can give to your organization.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • You need Owner or Finance access to your organization.
  • No provider account is needed beforehand if you choose Stripe. If you already use Clover, have that account’s details handy.

Steps

Section titled “Steps”

  1. From your dashboard, click Connect payments in the setup checklist. You can also get here from Manage → Accounts (/accounts), selecting an account, and opening its Settings tab, which opens on Payment Providers — there, click Connect Provider and pick a provider from the menu.

  2. Connect your provider by following the path that fits you:

    If you’re using Stripe (recommended) — the fastest setup for cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and you don’t need a Stripe account beforehand.

    1. Click Connect Stripe (or choose Stripe from the Connect Provider menu).
    2. Complete Stripe’s hosted setup. Stripe collects your business and bank details directly — nothing is entered inside MyFundCenter.

    If you already use Clover

    1. Click Connect Clover (or choose Clover from the menu).
    2. Pick Connect via Clover to sign in and authorize through Clover directly (recommended), or Connect Manually if you’d rather enter credentials yourself.
    3. For a manual connection, give it a Connection Name, then enter the Merchant ID and API Token from your Clover Dashboard under Setup → API Tokens. The token needs Payments (read/write) and Merchant (read) permissions.

  3. When the connection succeeds, you’ll see a confirmation and the provider listed with a Connected status.

  4. Create a fundraiser (see Run your first fundraiser) and select this provider in its Payment step.

  5. To see donations as they come in, open Manage → Accounts, select the account, open the fundraiser, and view its donation list.
