Step 4 of 4: Claim your Stripe account

Almost there! Complete your application by claiming and fully setting up your new account with Stripe.

To do this, open the email sent to directly from Stripe titled "Give Lively payments: claim your Stripe account". Follow the instructions to activate your Stripe Account and connect it to Give Lively. Once you’re done, the application review process will take an average of 7-10 business days.

Don't see the email from Stripe? Make sure you check the email address you entered for Stripe to use. Check your spam and trash folders too.

Once you’ve activated and connected your account, make sure the rest of your Stripe account is fully set up:

  • Enable your Stripe account to accept donations via ACH (bank transfer). Give Lively technology allows for ACH donations, but it isn't automatically enabled. You must set this up with Stripe to prevent donors from seeing errors.
  • Apply for Stripe's nonprofit discount. These are available to most 501(c)(3) nonprofits and will get you the lowest processing rates available.
