Friends,

Now that my little group got transferred today I'd like to figure out how to use GIO's donations feature for Premium accounts.? Several of my members have said they regret that I'm out of pocket (though to the tune of just $110...I beat the price hike!) for our switch.

Here's my question:? the donations page (pasted below) says "in order to accept donations, you will need to have a Stripe account."? Fine, I'll need one; but does the donor need one too?? Frankly I'm guessing "yes."? I expect that PayPal and frumpy old checks will be more popular with my membership, which is okay.? Thanks in advance for your help.

• We use??to accept credit card payments. In order to accept donations, you will need to have a Stripe account.
• Clicking the?Connect with Stripe?button will take you to a page to create a new Stripe account or connect an existing Stripe account. Stripe accounts are free.
• Once you've connected a Stripe account, you will be able to create donation requests and your members will be able to donate using a credit card.
• The Groups.io processing fee is 5%, which includes all credit card processing fees.
• When you create a donation request, it is considered open, which means that members can submit donations. You can close donations when they are complete.

No, they just need a credit card.

Can the credit card data be entered from a keyboard or keypad, or does the donor have to have a Stripe scanner?

Yes, just type in the numbers and other information like you would on any site.

The screen they get will be similar to the one you used to pay for your upgrade.

Does anyone know if it works with non-USA credit cards as well? I assume so, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

Also how does the group owner get the money from Stripe?

I have created a new page of the wiki that I hope those who have set up a donation page on Groups.io or have received them can review for accuracy and completeness.

I found the answers in the FAQ on Stripe.
