Good to Know

• You can only have one active payment processor on your organization’s account. You can change the way you receive funds at any time. Any changes will be applied to all active Campaigns on your account.
• If your Campaign is already active, only new donations will go to the new account. You’ll still have access to all previous donations in the previously connected account.
