All payments in Cause Machine are processed through a financial gateway called Stripe. Stripe is a powerful and safe payment gateway and payment processor that enables your online commerce resources on Cause Machine. Cause Machine has modules to help you monetize your community through tools like paid memberships, events, e-courses, digital product and services, and donations. All of these payments are facilitated through your Stripe configuration. Setting up Stripe is a simple and quick process.
Follow the prompts to either create your Stripe account by clicking "Connect with Stripe," or sign into your Stripe account by clicking "Stripe Dashboard".
The final step is verifying your account and allowing the Cause Machine / Stripe connection to be completed. The entire process (even if you are creating a new Stripe account) should take less than 5 minutes. Once you have verified the connection you are all set to start building paid memberships and creating any other payment modules of Cause Machine. Please note that the remaining steps are through Stripe's platform and thus inaccessible to Cause Machine support team.
