Automatic card updates
Saved payment method details can continue to work even if the physical card has been replaced by the issuing bank. Stripe works with card networks and automatically attempts to update saved card details whenever a supporter receives a new card (for example, replacing an expired card or one that was reported lost or stolen). This allows your supporters to continue their recurring giving without interruption and reduces the need for you to collect new card details whenever a card is replaced.
Because Stripe charges 0.25 USD for each card update, Fundraise Up applies these automatic card updates to active recurring plans only. This means that recurring plans can remain unaffected by expired cards, but your organization won’t pay for unnecessary storage of card details in Stripe for one-time donations.
Saved cards
When a card is used to make a donation, the payment token is securely stored and made available for use in the Virtual Terminal. This way, if a supporter requests to make a donation in person or over the phone, you can easily process it using the supporter’s saved card payment method.
Changing payment methods
Sometimes, a supporter creates a recurring plan using a card-based payment method, but later wishes to update the recurring plan to a different payment method. Supporters can make this change without needing to request it from your organization by accessing their Donor Portal. Learn more →
