Sapling partners with Stripe to ensure your donations are captured and handled securely. Establishing your payments account should take about 3 minutes and you will need:
- Your 501c3 tax ID number
- Your mobile phone number
- A picture of a photo ID to submit
- Your social security number of a person responsible for the nonprofit
Why do I need to provide a social security number?
The US Patriot Act has required payment processors to validate their customers to reduce the risk of fraud. Stripe does not retain your social security number nor does Sapling. Learn more about Stripe's policy here.
