Join the fundraising movement! Join the fundraising movement!The payments market has exploded with seamless checkout options and one-click solutions. But they’re not all made equally, and it’s important to understand the differences and benefits of each.
Nonprofits everywhere are already benefitting from these payment solutions – including Stripe’s newest offering, Link.
In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know to start accepting donations using Stripe Link!
Link, created by Stripe, is a secure and efficient way to check out by automatically filling in your saved email, payment, and billing/shipping information.
When someone goes to make a purchase or donation at an online retailer or nonprofit that supports Link, Stripe will automatically fill in saved information. This significantly decreases time spent at checkout!
Link users can save both credit and debit card information, along with bank account details. Plus, instant bank payments are built into Link.
So…why should you care about Link? Here are some reasons why providing Link at checkout on your donation form is a big win for you and your donors.
Your donors will thank you for an easy and efficient way to give in just a couple of clicks. Paying with quick payment methods like Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay creates a better giving experience for your donors – meaning they’re more likely to give again and again.
Your donors’ data has never been safer! With leading encryption standards, identity verification, and PCI Service Provider Level 1 compliance, Link protects sensitive personal data from fraud.
Easier, quicker giving translates to more funds for your mission.
When donors meet a frictionless checkout, they’re less likely to abandon their donation. This increases your conversion rate and overall donations to your organization. Plus, it boosts your opportunity to build lasting relationships with supporters!
