Activating DAFpay on your Springboard donation forms involves two key actions:
Claiming your Chariot Deposit Account*
Adding a new gateway on your Springboard admin account
Part 1: Claiming your Chariot Deposit Account
Visit our step-by-step guide on claiming your Chariot Deposit Account for more information.
Part 2: Adding a new gateway in your Springboard portal
Step 1: Login to your Springboard account. On the left-hand sidebar under "Fundraising", click on "Donation Forms" and then go to the "Edit" tab.
Step 2: Scroll down, and under "Payment methods", ensure that "daf" is enabled by checking the "Enable" box. This will ensure that DAFpay is turned on within your donate forms.
Note: Once you've enabled "daf" under "Payment methods", it could take 1-2 hours to get your EIN authenticated.
Step 3: Head to your nonprofit's donation page (note: sample images below are from a test donation page). DAFpay will now appear on your payment screen alongside any other methods of payment you've previously enabled.
Once a donor has selected DAFpay as their payment method, they will go through an easy, three-click process to complete their gift submission.
Note: Currency must be in USD in order for DAFpay to appear as a payment option. The DAFpay bar will not display for any other currency.
The ideal way to present the DAFpay payment option is to feature it as a distinct, standalone choice among the payment types / methods. Here's an example:
Note: Each DAFpay gift integrated with Springboard will come with a 3.9% processing fee.
Managing donations in your Chariot portal
