Stripe for Charities & Non-profits

Give A Little connects to Stripe for world class, innovative payment processing

The Give A Little and Stripe partnership provides charities with high quality, low cost, innovative ways to collect cashless donations via contactless, Chip + PIN, online and QR codes. 

We’ve launched a range of highly requested contactless features, which are designed to increase donation revenues, including: 

  • Offline donations - collect offline donations with the all-in-one Stripe S700 Reader and the Stripe WisePad 3 card reader (requires an Android device with the Give A Little Point of Donation App)

  • Monthly recurring contactless donations with Inflationary Giving

  • Single amount Give & Go

  • - collect contactless donations without the need for a separate card reader using just your smartphone. You can now invite unlimited supporters to fundraise for you from their phones with the innovative Give A Little Champion App, which is available on iPhone and Android.

  • You can now integrate

    Give A Little Stripe
    into your Give A Little account, which has a
    market-leading low payment processing fee of 1.58% inc VAT
    (UK) and
    2%
    in the Eurozone to further our mission to drive down the cost of cashless donation technology. Charities can alternatively choose to integrate a standard Stripe account - fees as per your agreement.

Using Stripe with Give A Little

Seamlessly integrates with Give A Little

There is no limit to the number of card readers that can be connected with your Give A Little account

Offline donations

You can keep collecting when a fixed donation station/portable contactless donation box has no WiFi or data coverage. When making an offline donation via payment card, Stripe requires chip + PIN entry - digital wallet donations (Apple Pay and Google Pay) are as normal.

Recurring monthly donations

Easy sign up of donors to monthly recurring donations via Tap to Pay and the Give A Little Champion App, fixed donation stations and portable contactless donation boxes. Also available for online giving and QR codes. Benefit from our new Inflationary Giving feature to ensure donations keep up with inflation.

Give & Go

A donor can quickly tap to donate a default amount, there’s no need to select anything and the machine resets rapidly for the next donor. This is the fastest way to process a queue of donors.

FAQ

If you have integrated Give A Little Stripe you can order the Stripe WisePad 3 card reader or the Stripe S700 Reader by contacting us by email here at

.

If you have your own existing Stripe account you can order it via your Stripe admin account.

Give A Little Give & Go is for in-person donations and is a feature of Give A Little app campaigns. It displays a single donation amount to the donor on the campaign screen while the card reader stays primed ready to accept a donation payment. In this way the donor can very quickly tap their payment card to donate the default amount without needing to interact with the screen. This is a very rapid way of dealing with queues and for locations where people are transiting through quickly, not wanting to stop for long to donate (Note: requires a Stripe WisePad 3 card reader)

Yes, offline donations are available with the Stripe WisePad 3 card reader and the Stripe S700 Reader. Contact us at

It is not possible to integrate an existing Stripe account into your Give A Little Account as Stripe requires each platform to have its own separate Stripe account. If you are in the UK we recommend you connect a new Give A Little Stripe account via the integrations panel in your Give A Little Account to access the 1.58% transaction fee (UK). If your existing Stripe agreement gives you lower Stripe fees, please get in touch with us by emailing hello@givealittle.co as we can enable you to integrate a new Standard Stripe account to port over those fees. If outside of the UK, yes you will need to integrate a new standard Stripe account via the integrations panel in your Give A Little admin account.

Yes you can use both SumUp and Stripe. When logging into the Give A Little app, you will be asked which card reader you want to use and will need to choose this before you can login. For online donations and donations made via QR codes Stripe will always be the default processor over any other you have connected.

Payment cards and digital wallet payments (Apple Pay & Google Pay), are available with some variations and limits due to the payment processor you are using.
