Donation Pages allow you to accept recurring or one-time donations. Before creating donation pages, you must connect to Stripe, which will act as the payment processor.

Connecting Stripe

You must have a Stripe account connected to your Organization before you can create a Donate page. In order to connect a Stripe account, reference the Stripe integration article.

Once you've connected a Stripe account, you can now create a Donate Page and accept one-time and recurring donations.

Transaction fees

We charge 3.9% + 30¢ per transaction. This includes the payment processor fees, credit card fees, and Stripe fees. Fees for Stripe accounts outside of the US may vary. Payouts to your bank account are done on a weekly basis by default.

Donations vs. Membership Dues

You can create two types of Donation pages:

Ordinary Donations: Accept one-time or recurring donations.

Membership Dues Donations: Allows members to sign up to pay either recurring monthly dues or an upfront dues payment. Maintains a "Is up to date on dues" property for each Person on your list so you can query which People are up to date on dues.

Donation amount

The "Choose an amount" component of every Donation Form allows you set the pre-selected donation amounts and decide whether to allow custom amounts

Furthermore, including amount in the URL parameter, like ?amount=10, will pre-select the chosen amount when the donation page loads.

Page Form

By default, it will create a multi-page form to split payment process into digestible steps.

Team Members with access can view and manage all subscriptions, cancellations, payouts, refunds, etc. from the Finances tab in the dashboard.

Manage Your Donations

Your supporters can manage their donations from the donations manager. Every recurring donation email receipt will include a link to the donations manager where they can update their recurring donations. The donations manager URL is static for every Website - at the reserved /donations URL path.. It can be accessed either at your custom domain or your solidarity.tech domain, with the URL path /donations, for example, drivers-united.org/donations or demo.solidarity.tech/donations.

History

Update billing info

By navigating to the "Recurring" donations section, you can see any active or inactive subscriptions associated with your account.

Click on an active subscription to view your donation history, and update or cancel your recurring donation.

From the "Update Payment Method" screen, you can update the card used for your donation, and keep the active donation intact.

From the "Update Recurring Settings" screen, you can cancel your donation entirely, or update the amount that you'd like to donate on a monthly basis.
