Do we have to use the Stripe payment processing service to collect proceeds?

To accept online credit card payments for your raffle you will need to create and manage your own Stripe payment processing account.

If you do not already have a Stripe account, you can apply for one here: https://stripe.com/au

It is generally quite easy to set up a Stripe account. However, Stripe may reject your application if you cannot demonstrate your not-for-profit status.

Stripe charges 1.7% + $0.30 per transaction. This includes Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

As part of your raffle setup, you can pass on the Stripe Payment Processing Fee to your customers. MOST CLIENTS pass on the Stripe fees to their customers.

IMPORTANT:  If you are an individual or a private business i.e. a Third Party Organiser, raising funds for a not-for-profit community or charitable organisation, you will not be allowed to set up a Stripe payment processing account for the purpose of collecting raffle ticket proceeds. Please contact the RaffleTix support team at support@raffletix.com.au to discuss alternate payment processing arrangements.
