Stripe Nonprofit Pricing
Summary
Stripe offers reduced payment-processing fees for verified nonprofit organisations — the cross-referenced figure is 2.2% + $0.30 per US domestic card transaction (down from the standard 2.9% + $0.30), provided the nonprofit’s processed volume is at least 80% donation-related. Stripe’s verification flow expects recognised charitable status; the political/advocacy exclusion policy is not stated on Stripe’s public help-centre page and is best described as conditional pending direct verification with Stripe support.

Stripe’s nonprofit pricing provides reduced payment-processing fees for verified nonprofit organisations. The cross-referenced offer is 2.2% + $0.30 per US domestic card transaction (versus the standard 2.9% + $0.30), conditional on the nonprofit’s processed volume being at least 80% donation-related [source: stripe-nonprofits]. The local scrape returned a thin page (143 chars); the figures above are taken from the cross-referenced directory files and the verified current Stripe support article.
The application is via Stripe support; Stripe verifies nonprofit status (501(c)(3) in the US or international equivalent) and applies the discount to the account’s billing [source: stripe-nonprofits]. Stripe’s public help-centre article does not appear to state an explicit political/advocacy exclusion; the de-facto filter is what Stripe’s verification accepts, which for 501(c)(3) organisations is broad but for 501(c)(4) / partisan / unregistered advocacy organisations needs direct verification with Stripe support [source: stripe-nonprofits].

Procuring Stripe’s 2.2% + $0.30 rate (vs standard 2.9% + $0.30) on US domestic card transactions for a verified nonprofit’s donation-processing workflow; understanding that the political/advocacy exclusion is not publicly stated — verify directly with Stripe support if your legal form is non-charitable or advocacy-focused.
