How-to: Update Your Funding Method

Change your funding method even if your Campaign has already started.

RallyUp allows you to change how you receive funds at any time, even if your Campaign has already started raising funds. If your Campaign is live, any funds received before switching will be processed by your original funding method, while funds received after switching will be processed by the new one.


How do I switch to PayPal or Stripe?

  1. Go to Organization Settings in the left menu and select Payment Processing:
payment processing left menu
  1. Select Connect existing account or Create new account:
1703874993731 switch+to+paypal+or+stripe
  1. When the following confirmation message appears, select Continue:

For complete setup instructions, learn more in our guide on how to set up direct funds.


How do I switch to Pledge?

The majority of RallyUp users should use Stripe or PayPal for the easiest and most direct way to receive the funds you raise. If your organization is a registered US 501(c) and can’t set up a Stripe or PayPal account, you can use Pledge to collect and distribute funds on your behalf. Pledge incurs additional fees, and there is a waiting period before funds are delivered.

  1. Go to Organization Settings in the left menu and select Payment Processing:
payment processing left menu
  1. Scroll down to Alternative options.
  2. Select Use Pledge (if your organization qualifies to use Pledge, you’ll automatically see it as a payment option):
