Creating a Campaign and Connecting your Stripe Account To Campaign

As a project creator you are now ready to create a campaign and connect your stripe account to your CrowdFunding campaign. Here are a few short steps showing how to do this.

STEP 1. Once you have created your campaign, head to the ‘Funding’ tab and click ‘Connect with Stripe’.

STEP 2. This will redirect you to Stripe, you will need to login if you haven’t done so or fill out the form. You can skip the form if you are in ‘Development Mode’ (you must be logged in to your stripe account as well).

STEP 3. Now you can select your stripe account in the drop down, based on the account email. Live and Test connections will be labelled.

STEP 4. Fill out the rest of the information for your campaign and after all fields are filled out, you can now send it for review.

Introducing Direct Transactions

“Direct Transactions” is a feature which allows for direct stripe connect transactions that portal admin can toggle.

Basically, this mode allows all the funds from campaigns to go to a single stripe account which is selected by the admin. Admin can then distribute the funds to campaign creators or managers manually.

By enabling this feature, campaign creators no longer need to go through the individual stripe setup (funding step) which greatly reduces the complexity for anyone who tries to setup a new campaign.

Following is a brief tutorial for helping site owners to locate and use the setting:

1. Go to ‘administration dashboard’ and then go to ‘Portal Settings’.

2. Under ‘Stripe Settings’, there is ‘Direct Transactions’. If that is toggled on, then all transactions will go to the main Stripe account configured on portal settings.

3. Save the settings and it’s good to go.
