Fundmajor uses Stripe to securely process all online sponsorship payments.
You don't need to have an existing Stripe account to get started with Fundmajor. We can help you choose the most suitable payment setup for your organisation.
There are a number of options depending on whether your club or organisation already uses Stripe.
Option 1 – We Don't Have a Stripe Account
No problem. Fundmajor can set up a Stripe Connected Account for your organisation.
You will be provided with a secure Stripe link where you can enter the information required to verify your organisation and nominate the bank account where your fundraising proceeds should be paid.
Stripe manages the secure verification and payment process, while your Fundmajor website handles your fundraising campaign.
This is generally the simplest option for organisations that don't already use Stripe.
Option 2 – We Already Have a Stripe Account
If your organisation already has its own Stripe account, this can also be used with Fundmajor.
Your Fundmajor contact will advise you on the appropriate connection process and help get your account connected to your Fundmajor campaign.
If Stripe already holds verified information about your organisation, you may also be able to reuse this information during the connection process, reducing the amount of information you need to enter again.
Option 3 – Our Club Uses Stripe Through Foireann
If your club already uses Stripe through Foireann, Fundmajor can work with this setup too.
Let your Fundmajor contact know that you use Foireann when setting up your campaign and we will advise you on the appropriate steps to connect your existing Stripe setup.
Where Does the Money Go?
Fundmajor does not hold the funds raised by your organisation.
Online sponsorship payments are securely processed using Stripe and are associated with your organisation's Stripe account or Stripe Connected Account. Payouts are then made to the bank account nominated by your organisation.
This gives your club or organisation the convenience of online fundraising while Stripe provides the secure payment infrastructure.
What Information Will We Need?
The exact information requested by Stripe can vary depending on the type of organisation and its existing Stripe setup.
For a new Stripe Connected Account, you should generally have details about your organisation and the bank account where you want to receive your fundraising proceeds available when completing the setup.
Stripe may also request information to verify the identity of the person completing the setup on behalf of the organisation.
Your Fundmajor contact will send you the appropriate Stripe setup link and help you through the process if required.
