Fitness: Strava Integration Changes
Strava has introduced new requirements for organizations using the Strava integration with Funraisin. As a result, some existing integrations may need to be updated to ensure fundraisers can continue connecting their Strava accounts and syncing activity.
This article explains the changes, who is affected, and the steps required to update an existing Strava integration.
Important: Strava has not published a final deadline for existing integrations to be updated. However, the new subscription requirements are already affecting some existing Strava integrations. To avoid disruption to fundraisers connecting their Strava accounts and syncing activity, Funraisin recommends completing the required updates as soon as possible.
Tip! This article is for organizations with an existing Strava integration. If you are setting up Strava for the first time, refer to the Fitness: Connecting Strava support article for the complete setup process.
What has changed?
Strava has introduced a new subscription requirement for organizations using its API.
Previously, a Strava API application could be created and used without a paid subscription. A paid Strava subscription is now required to continue using the Strava integration with Funraisin.
Because of this change, organizations with an existing Strava integration will need to review and update their Strava configuration to meet Strava's new requirements.
Who is affected?
This change affects organizations that have already configured the Strava integration on their Funraisin platform.
Organizations using the Strava integration should follow the steps in this article to update their existing Strava configuration.
If the Strava integration has not yet been set up, follow the Fitness: Connecting Strava support article instead.

Before getting started:
- Only one paid Strava subscription is typically required per organization.
- For organizations with multiple Funraisin platforms, the same subscription can usually be used across multiple platforms, depending on how the Strava API applications are configured.
