One of our strongest recommendations to clients using our fundraising capabilities is to enable credit card processing. Credit card processing allows for your guests to pay for donations, tickets, and bids directly from their mobile device or computer. This leads to increased ease for your guest, higher proceeds, and more efficient checkout.
In order to use credit card processing, you can quickly and easily set up a Stripe account through your Accelevents Admin Console. Funds will then go directly to your Stripe account and will be transferred to a bank account of your choice within 48 hours.
