How do nonprofits accept Apple Pay and Google Pay donations?

Connect Stripe to your DonorDock Online Giving Forms, and Apple Pay and Google Pay show up for donors whose device and browser support them. If you embed a giving form on your own website, register that domain in Stripe so the wallet buttons can appear there too.

Seamless Giving with Trusted Digital Wallets

With DonorDock, giving is a breeze. Donors can use Apple Pay and Google Pay to make secure donations quickly and easily. These trusted digital wallets provide a seamless and safe way to give, boosting donors' confidence and convenience throughout the giving process.

Wallets are one piece of online giving in DonorDock, sitting alongside cards, ACH bank transfers and Cash App on the same form.

Now on your embedded giving pages

Digital wallets work right inside the giving forms embedded on your website. Once your domain is registered with Stripe, donors can give with Apple Pay without leaving your site, turning a few taps into a completed gift. Fewer steps at checkout means more donors follow through.

What donors see

The wallet that fits their device. Apple Pay appears on supported Apple devices and browsers. Google Pay appears on supported devices and browsers when the donor has an eligible payment method saved in Google Pay.
No card number to type. Donors confirm the gift in their wallet instead of filling in card and billing details.
Other options if a wallet isn't available. Donors who don't see a wallet button can still give by card, ACH or Cash App, depending on what you've turned on in Stripe.
A gift that lands in the right record. Once the payment goes through, DonorDock records the gift on the donor's contact record, so nobody has to re-enter it.

Fees

Wallet gifts follow the same structure as every other online gift: DonorDock's 2% platform fee plus your payment processor's standard card processing. Stripe sets the processing rate for your account, and you can let donors choose to help cover processing costs at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Apple Pay and Google Pay secure?
Yes. Both use tokenization and biometric authentication (Face ID, fingerprint). Actual card numbers are never shared with the nonprofit. Payments are processed through Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure.

Do donors need a special app?
No. Apple Pay and Google Pay are built into donors' devices. If they have a card saved in their digital wallet, they can use it on your DonorDock giving page with one tap.

Can donors give with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes. When Stripe is connected, DonorDock Online Giving Forms can offer Apple Pay and Google Pay to donors on supported devices and browsers. For a form embedded on your own website, register that domain in Stripe first.

What fees apply to digital wallet gifts?
The same ones that apply to any online gift: DonorDock's 2% platform fee plus Stripe's processing for your account. You can check your exact Stripe rates in your Stripe dashboard.

Can I turn off a wallet option?
Yes. In your Stripe Dashboard, go to Settings, then Payment Methods, choose DonorDock in the Platform dropdown, and switch off any method you don't want on your giving forms.
