How do Supporters pay?
Supporters pay using their card through Stripe. The Tip button appears next to your website link in the upper left of your page.
One-time payments: Supporters enter their card details at checkout. Funds go directly to you upon successful payment.
Recurring payments: Supporters can save their details during the initial payment for easier future payments. They will need to provide a phone number for verification. After saving, Supporters can use the same email and complete a one-click checkout via phone verification.
Supporters' payment details are securely stored by Stripe and can be managed by the Supporter directly.
