How to Set Up Stripe
If you don’t already have a Stripe account
The instructions below assume you do not already have a Stripe account. You’ll need to set up a Stripe account by following the steps below if you don’t already have one. If you already have a Stripe account, skip ahead to the instructions in the next section.
- From the left menu under Settings, click on Payment Processing.
- Click the Create new account button.
You will be routed to Stripe’s website to set up your account. Enter an email address for your account. If you have an organizational email address, it’s best to use this. You will be asked to provide information about your organization and link a bank account. Once this is completed, you will be routed back to DoJiggy to complete the process of creating your organization in DoJiggy.
IMPORTANT: While you can create a Stripe account through DoJiggy, the terms of the account are determined by Stripe, not DoJiggy.
NOTE: If the person creating a Stripe account cannot access the Payment Processing tab from the menu, they can register an account here to be linked to in the steps below.
If you already have a Stripe account
If your organization already has a Stripe account, you can link it to DoJiggy by following these simple steps:
- From the left menu under Organization, click on Payment Processing.
- Click the button, Connect existing account.
3. You will be taken to stripe.com. Sign in to your existing Stripe account and fill out any necessary information. After completing this, click “Return to DoJiggy.”
4. Click SAVE at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.
That’s it – you’re all done! All funds raised for your organization on DoJiggy will now automatically be sent to your bank account via Stripe.
