Payment Processing for Canadian Organizations

One important decision you’ll need to make is choosing your payment processing partner. Rest assured that we have solutions for Canadian clients. You will accept donations in CAD with no foreign transaction or currency conversion fees.

Our fundraising platform integrates with Stripe and PayPal for CAD processing. Both Stripe and PayPal offer discounts for Canadian registered charities, flat-rate credit card processing fees, and no setup or monthly fees.

You can also accept cheques with no fees.

Canada Revenue Agency Official Tax Receipts

Canadian charities can provide Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) approved electronic receipts to donors. When enabled, these are auto-generated with each approved donation. Organizations can customize receipts with their branding and information.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), tax receipts can only be sent for donations where the donor did not receive goods or services in exchange. The system will automatically detect the kind of donation the donor made on your fundraiser and send them a tax receipt accordingly.

Examples of CRA-eligible donations

Donations on a crowdfunding campaign that doesn’t offer perks
One-time or recurring donations on a donation page
Per-unit and flat amount donations on an Athon fundraiser
Direct donations (without receiving goods or services in exchange) on other campaign types

Examples of CRA ineligible donations

Raffle entry purchases
Item purchases on a sale fundraiser
Bids on auction items
Ticket purchases on an event campaign

Limited Support for French Language

Your website pages and customizable emails can be created bilingually or in French. Many Canadian organizations create their content in both English and French. Please note that registration forms, receipts, and all company support materials are only available in English at this time.

Crowdfunding in Canada

Charity crowdfunding campaigns are big in Canada, and for a good reason – they work! If your organization is looking for an innovative way to fundraise for your mission while engaging your supporters, crowdfunding may be just the solution you’ve been looking for.

Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or initiative by raising money from many people. Crowdfunding for nonprofits lets individuals reach out to their network to raise funds while supporting an organization they care about. Crowdfunding may also be called peer-to-peer fundraising because people ask their peers for financial support for a charity’s mission.
