Setting Up Your Payment Processor

Before you can accept donations, you need to connect at least one payment processor to your LevCharity account. LevCharity supports eight processors, so you can use whichever one your organization already has a relationship with.

Supported Payment Processors

• Stripe — Most widely used; supports Apple Pay and Google Pay automatically.
• PayPal
• Authorize.net
• Banquest
• Sumit
• YaadPay
• Tranzila
• DAFpay by Chariot — Used for Donor-Advised Fund giving.

You can connect multiple processors if needed (for example, Stripe for credit cards and DAFpay for DAF gifts).

How to Connect a Processor

1. Go to Settings in the top-right menu.
2. Select Payment Processors.
3. Click Add Processor and choose your processor from the list.
4. Follow the authentication steps — for Stripe, this opens an OAuth flow in a new window. For others, you'll enter your API keys or merchant credentials directly.
5. Once connected, the processor appears as Active in your list.

Assigning a Processor to a Form

After connecting, you'll assign processors at the individual form or campaign level. When editing a donation form or campaign, go to the Payment settings section and select which processor(s) should be active for that form.

Enabling Apple Pay and Google Pay

Apple Pay and Google Pay are available automatically when you use Stripe. No additional setup is required on the LevCharity side — Stripe handles the wallet authentication. Make sure your Stripe account is verified and in good standing, as Stripe may require domain registration for Apple Pay on your end.

Geolocation Currency Rules

If you raise funds internationally, you can configure Geolocation Currency Rules under Settings → Currencies. This automatically presents the donation form in a donor's local currency based on their location, helping improve conversion rates for international audiences.
