    Set up organization payment configuration

    Overview

    Connect and review the required payment configuration before accepting paid tickets or donations.

    Where to find it

    Open the nonprofit workspace. Organization profile, Team, Invitations, Payments, Platform billing, API Integrations, Donation Page and Receipt Templates are available from Organization > Settings when your organization role permits them.

    How it works

    1. Open Payments and confirm the preferred transaction currency shown for the organization country.
    2. Connect Stripe or PayPal through the displayed provider flow; never paste provider credentials into GoodAction chat.
    3. Return to Payments and verify the visible account status, details-submitted state and payout readiness.
    4. Before announcing paid tickets or donations, check that Payments shows the account as ready for payouts.

    Important details

    The Payments screen reports provider readiness such as account status, details submitted and payouts. Never send bank details, card data, provider secrets or temporary credentials in support chat. Disconnecting an account can interrupt checkout and should be intentional.

    If something does not look right

    1. Confirm the signed-in profile and current workspace shown in the page header.
    2. Capture the page address, time and exact visible error.
    3. Do not include passwords, API keys, bank details or full card data.
    4. Ask GoodAction Support when the expected control remains unavailable or the saved result differs from this article.
