Payments: Enabling Apple Pay

Apple Pay is a mobile payment option available on Apple devices, allowing supporters to make quick, secure payments using their stored card details. It can be enabled through a charity’s Stripe account as an additional payment method.

Offering Apple Pay helps remove friction during checkout—supporters don’t need to enter their card details manually, making it easier to donate or register in just a few taps. Apple Pay is only available on Apple mobile devices.

This article explains how to enable Apple Pay in both Stripe and your Funraisin platform, along with key details about accepted cards, pricing, and reporting.

Enabling Apple Pay in Stripe

Before you can enable Apple Pay in Funraisin, it must first be activated in your Stripe account. Follow the steps below to complete the setup in Stripe, then return to your Funraisin platform to toggle Apple Pay on.

To enable Apple Pay within Stripe:

1

Go to your Stripe Dashboard.

2

Navigate to Settings > Payment method domains.

3

Click Add a new domain and enter the full URL of your website (for example, www.example.com) -> Do not include http:// or https:// in your URL.

4

Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your domain. (You do not need to upload a verification file to your web server—this process is handled automatically by the Funraisin team. )

Once the domain is added and verified, you can continue on to the next steps of enabling the option in your Funraisin platform.

Enabling Apple Pay in Funraisin

Once you’ve confirmed that Apple Pay is enabled in Stripe, you can switch it on within your Funraisin platform.

To enable Apple Pay:

1

From your Funraisin admin, go to Platform Setup > Payment Settings.

2

Toggle on Apple Pay.

Enabling Apple Pay will also activate Google Pay automatically. Google Pay appears as a payment option on Chrome browsers and Android devices and doesn’t require any setup in Stripe.

Once enabled, Apple Pay will display as a payment option on donation and registration forms when viewed on Safari and iOS devices.

Accepted Cards

Stripe currently supports standard credit cards for Apple Pay, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Please note that Eftpos cards are not supported, and not all Australian and New Zealand banks offer Apple Pay compatibility.

Pricing

Apple Pay does not incur any additional fees. Payments made through Apple Pay are processed as standard credit card transactions in Stripe, with the same fees that apply to Visa, Mastercard, or Amex payments.

Reporting

You can identify Apple Pay transactions in your Transactions or Donations reports by checking the Payment Method field. If Apple Pay was used, this field will display Apple Pay as the payment method.

Multi-Charity sites

If your platform uses multi-charity, each connected charity must enable Apple Pay within their own Stripe account before Apple Pay can be used across the site.
