Funds route automatically to campaign creators through Stripe.
Whether someone contributes directly or a marketplace sale splits to your campaign, funds arrive without manual intervention. You don't need to chase payments or process transfers.
Direct Contributions
When someone contributes directly to your campaign:
- Payment processes through Stripe
- Funds arrive in your connected Stripe account
- Transaction is recorded on the contributor's GivingProfile
- Campaign progress updates automatically
Marketplace Sales
When someone lists and sells an item supporting your campaign:
- Buyer completes checkout
- Payment splits according to seller's preset percentage
- Campaign portion routes to your Stripe account
- Seller portion routes to their Stripe account
- Both transactions appear on GivingProfiles
Stripe Connect
Campaign creators connect their bank account through Stripe Connect during campaign setup. This enables:
- Direct deposits — funds go straight to your bank
- Automatic routing — no manual transfer requests
- Secure processing — bank-level security
- Transaction records — full history available
Timing
- Direct contributions: processed immediately
- Marketplace sales: processed after purchase completes
- Bank transfers: typically 2-3 business days
Fees
OpenGiving charges a platform fee on transactions. Stripe charges standard payment processing fees. All fees are disclosed before you create a campaign.
Campaign creators receive the full amount shown in their campaign dashboard, minus disclosed fees.
