Find out how to restrict the locations of eligible participants in your Campaign.
For certain types of fundraisers, there may be instances in which you need to limit eligible participants to certain geographical regions. For example, you might be holding a raffle that only allows state residents to participate.
In these cases, there are simple ways to set parameters for geographic locations so that only donors from specific areas can participate in your Campaign.
Limit Geographic Areas
- Use Stripe Radar for Fraud
If you have linked a Stripe account to collect the funds raised on your Campaign, you can create rules in your Stripe account if you have enabled Stripe Radar for Fraud Teams. Please contact Stripe directly for more information on setting up this function and establishing location controls. - Alert donors of geographic restrictions
You can enable a special notice in the checkout process to inform purchasers of geographic restrictions. This will add an extra step to the checkout process. If desired, you can even enable a click-box that will require donors to accept the terms set forth before moving on in the checkout process. Learn how to add this notice to your Campaign checkout here. This feature can be used in conjunction with Stripe Radar or separately.
