Each organization uses its own Stripe account: paste your API keys once and DonorForge verifies them with Stripe and configures the webhook on your account automatically. Donations settle straight to your bank on your own Stripe payout schedule — DonorForge is not a payment intermediary and adds no platform percentage on top.
You paste the API keys from your own Stripe account. Donations are charged directly on your account and settle to your bank on your payout schedule; DonorForge does not pool or hold funds.
The same keys power one-time gifts, recurring giving with retry logic, future-dated scheduled donations, pledge invoices, and multi-pledge payment plans — plus refunds and dispute sync back from your Stripe dashboard.
Cards are entered through Stripe’s secure in-browser form, which brings Apple Pay and Google Pay with it and handles bank-required 3-D Secure authentication.
You pay Stripe’s processing fees to Stripe — including any discounted nonprofit rate you’ve negotiated. DonorForge does not add a percentage on top of donations.
