Which payment gateway should I use?
Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.Net each have strengths. Here's how to choose — or use more than one.
All three gateways are included on every plan, and you can run more than one at once. The right choice depends on how your donors prefer to pay.
Quick guidance
Stripe is the easiest all-rounder: cards, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with a clean setup.
PayPal is worth enabling for donors who prefer their PayPal balance or Venmo and would rather not share a card.
Authorize.Net suits organizations that already use it or need its enterprise fraud tooling and eCheck support.
