Integration / Stripe

Stripe Connect, the Sembr way.

Stripe Connect is the payments backbone of Sembr. Members pay your organization directly into your bank account. Sembr never sits on the money.

Now and forever. We make money from the subscription, not from your transactions.

How it works

Four steps. No middleman.

Member pays

Through the Sembr checkout (web or portal). Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, EFT, PADs supported per country.

Stripe settles

Funds settle to your connected Stripe account on Stripe's standard payout schedule. Same day or next business day.

Sembr records

Sembr receives a transaction event for reconciliation but does not touch the money. Audit log captures everything.

You manage

Refunds, disputes, and chargebacks happen in your Stripe dashboard. Notifications surface in Sembr audit log.

FAQ

Common questions.

What countries does Stripe Connect support?
Stripe Connect is available in 47+ countries including US, Canada, UK, EU member states, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and most of Latin America. Full list at stripe.com/global. If your country is supported by Stripe Connect, Sembr works.
What if our organization does not have a tax ID yet?
You'll need a tax ID (EIN in the US, BN in Canada, ABN in Australia, etc.) before Stripe can payout. Most newly-incorporated nonprofits and member orgs already have one as part of registration.
Can we accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers?
Yes, all of them, plus credit/debit cards, ACH (US), EFT/PADs (Canada), and Stripe-supported wallets. The Sembr checkout surfaces whichever methods Stripe enables for your country.
How are Stripe fees handled?
Stripe takes its standard rate from each transaction at settlement. The remainder deposits to your bank. Sembr never touches the money and never adds a platform fee on top.
