To collect payments through SignUpGenius Auctions, you'll need to connect a Stripe account. It’s fast, secure, and makes sure all your funds get to the right place.
Here’s what you’ll need handy:
- Your legal name and date of birth
- Your SSN (or EIN and business details if you’re setting up as an organization)
- Your bank account number and routing number for deposits
Heads up: You can use your personal details if you're fundraising as an individual without a formal business or website. No need to be a registered nonprofit!
To connect Stripe:
- From your dashboard, click on Payments, then Payment Methods.
- Click Start and follow the prompts.
- Enter your personal or business info, verify your identity, and add your bank details.
- When Stripe asks for your website, you can use your suction or sign up link in place of a website URL.
That’s it! Stripe will securely process payments and transfer them to your account, usually within 1–2 business days. Bidders don't need a Stripe account of their own; they can pay by credit card.
Need to update your bank account information later? You can do that anytime from your Stripe dashboard.
