When donors visit your site, they’ll see donation amounts in their local currency. This makes it easier for them to understand exactly how much they’re giving, which means they’re more likely to complete their donation.

Seamless Recurring Donation Management

When you connect Stripe with Charitable’s recurring donation options, you can set up different giving schedules for donors to contribute regularly.

When donors get new credit or debit cards, Stripe updates the details on its own. If a payment doesn’t go through, Stripe tries again smartly to keep donations coming in.

Your regular donors get a simple way to manage their giving through a secure online portal. They can update their payment info, change amounts, or adjust schedules whenever they need to.

It’s time to keep donors happy and save your team from dealing with support emails and phone calls.
