Need to have donor's name sent with donation to stripe

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Frederick, MD nonprofit supports library.
  • - New member fees shown as donations; donor name not linked.
  • - Gmail shows name and amount; Stripe posts later.

We are a 501c3 nonprofit in Frederick MD supporting a local library. Our website allows a new member to make a "donation" as you call it.

Actually it's a new member fee from our point of view. We see the transaction on our gmail with name and amount (before fees). It then appears 2-3 days later on our checking account (after fees) from Stripe. Unfortunately, the donor's name does not appear associated with the specific donation.

that's our problem.

Sometimes we get multiple new memberships in a short time 3 or 4 days, and we cannot know the specific donor's name. Is there a way that the donor's name can be associated with the donation we see coming through from Stripe??

Can’t stop my donation!

AI Highlights
  • - I donate monthly via DonorBox to a charity.
  • - My email was hacked and I can't stop the donation.
  • - DonorBox lines are busy and no one answers.

I had to go through donorbox to donate monthly to a charity close to my heart. Since that time, my email was hacked, and I have no ability to get into that account to stop the funding.

Nobody answers the phone at donorbox. Its always busy. I need to cancel this donation and have no way to get a hold of them.

The charity says it doesnt have an ability to get into that account either. What am I supposed to do?

User's recommendation: Don’t donate through donorbox.

Really? Phones not working during the Season of Giving? Wow.

501(c)(3) nonprofit charity has quick tech question -- but was informed there is no phone support. Donorbox customer since 2019. Not happy.

User's recommendation: Donorbox is not the only game in town. I know how I'll be spending January 2024 -- looking for a better supported donation app.
