We are excited to announce that all Fundraise Up customers are now eligible to process recurring donations with PayPal.
Previously, accepting recurring donations through PayPal required manual authorization from PayPal itself, a process that could be difficult to navigate and potentially take months to complete. To be eligible, a nonprofit was required to have reference transactions enabled within their PayPal account in order to schedule future charges to a recurring donor.
Now, through Fundraise Up's partnership with PayPal, we're able to extend this authorization to all Fundraise Up customers and bypass PayPal's lengthy approval period.
To begin processing recurring donations through PayPal, you simply need to provide Fundraise Up with the email address and merchant ID for your PayPal account — we'll then take care of the logistics with PayPal: Request Access to PayPal Recurring
Once you have requested access, we'll notify you of approval from PayPal within 3 business days. You'll then be ready to process recurring donations through PayPal with no additional steps required.
Displaying PayPal as a payment option has been shown to increase conversion rate by as much 10%. If you're using PayPal, now is a perfect time to request access so you can expand your recurring donor base and empower your donors to give well.
