Donors can fund their donations through Give Lively using any of the following:
Some additional notes:
To process major credit cards and debit cards, including those stored in Apple Pay and Google Pay, we rely on Stripe, an industry-leading payment processor trusted by thousands of companies and nonprofits. All Give Lively members must have a fully authorized and connected Stripe account to use our technology. Learn more about Stripe and why you need it to use Give Lively.
To handle ACH transactions, we use different services, depending on which generation payment form is in use. Our first-generation forms use Plaid and the second-generation forms rely on Stripe Financial Connections. Both are trusted services that partner with thousands of US-based banks and guide you through a similar ACH/bank-payment process.
To allow for the use of digital wallets, most Give Lively fundraising pages automatically detect if a donor's device/browser has Apple Pay or Google Pay enabled as a payment method. If detected, the relevant payment option appears. Learn more about digital wallets.
Give Lively nonprofit members can add PayPal, but only as an optional additional donation-processing method. At the present time, it can't be the sole payment processor, since it is only available for one-time donations. Thus, PayPal will only process donations when a donor’s selected payment method is PayPal. All other payment methods (credit/debit, ACH etc.) will be processed via Stripe. Learn more about our PayPal integration in our Resource Hub (for members, but open to all).
You do not need technical savvy or deep experience with software services to use Give Lively products.
Our user-friendly platform is designed to get you up and running quickly. If you can use email for your nonprofit’s communication, then you have the skills to start fundraising through Give Lively.
Some examples:
In keeping with our commitment to data privacy and security, Give Lively takes full measures to protect all collected data, both where it is stored and when it is transferred between authorized parties. Donor data can also always be deleted upon request.
More specifically, Give Lively and its member nonprofits can never view a donor’s full payment details as they are handled exclusively by a secure third-party payment processor -- they are captured and stored securely by them without passing through our servers -- although some credit/debit card metadata and general payment information is accessible by Give Lively. Upon request, we can work with the payment processor to delete all data.
Give Lively does capture and securely store some non-payment data about donors, for instance a donor’s first and last names, email address and donation date, among other data points. See our Resource Hub (for members, but open to all) for a complete list of what donor data Give Lively collects.
