Creating fundraising causes is on hold, so this section only affects you if you already have a fundraising cause published. Those keep receiving donations as normal. More detail
Ways to get paid belong to your account, not to a cause: you turn them on once and they work for every cause you have. They are in Configuration › Payments.
Payments screen with the crypto wallet switch marked as coming soon and the card payments block not yet enabled

Configuration › Payments. The crypto wallet shows marked as coming soon.

A cause can be approved and getting visits without payments turned on. It simply won’t be able to receive donations until you turn them on.

Card payments

Card donations go through Stripe. You open a Stripe account from here and the money reaches yours; it does not pass through us.
1

Press enable

In Configuration › Payments, Enable card payments. Your account is created and Stripe opens.
2

Complete your details in Stripe

Stripe asks who you are, your bank account and, depending on the case, some document. It is their process, not ours, and it is required by law for anyone receiving payments.
3

Come back

When Stripe clears you, the status changes to active and your causes start taking donations.

The statuses you may see

If your account is restricted, donations stop until you sort it out. Stripe emails you with what is missing; we cannot sort it out for you.

When the money arrives

Donations build up in your Stripe account and Stripe transfers them to your bank according to the schedule you have set up there. The gateway fees are charged by Stripe.

Crypto wallet

Receiving donations directly into a wallet appears on the same screen, marked Coming soon. It is not working yet.

The bank account of a specific cause

Separately from the above, a cause can end up with its own bank account assigned for transfers. That is requested from the cause, not from here, and it has conditions. How it works
