Create Your Stripe Account
Your funds go directly to your Stripe account — we never hold your money.
Stripe is one of the largest and most trusted payment processors in the world, used by companies like Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft. Spirit Pay connects to Stripe so your organization can accept card payments securely.
Your organization gets its own Stripe account (called a "Connected Account" under our platform). This means funds from card sales go directly into your Stripe account and pay out to your bank — we never hold your money.
Self-Service
Create your own Stripe account at stripe.com. It's free and takes about 15 minutes. You'll need your organization's EIN, a bank account, and a government-issued ID for verification.
Guided Setup
We walk you through the entire Stripe account creation process step by step — identity verification, bank linking, business details, everything. Included with any setup package.
You'll need: your organization's EIN (or SSN for sole proprietors), a bank account for payouts, and a government-issued ID for identity verification.
Get Your Card Reader
The Stripe M2 reader accepts tap, chip, and swipe — wirelessly.
SpiritPay uses the Stripe M2 Bluetooth card reader to accept in-person payments. It connects wirelessly to your iPhone or iPad and supports tap (Apple Pay, Google Pay), chip, and swipe.
Order Through Us
We order the reader and manage it on our platform, configured for your location. Just turn it on and pair — no configuration needed. We handle registration, updates, and support.
~$59 + tax & shipping
Buy From Stripe Directly
Order directly from stripe.com/terminal. The reader is registered to your own Stripe account and managed by you. You'll pair it in the app during setup.
~$59 + tax & shipping
Have a reader from another source? Used readers must be de-registered from the original account before they can be used. Contact support@townspirit.org for help with the transfer.

Organization Website
Stripe requires a public website — we can build one for you.
As part of business verification, Stripe requires a public website that describes your organization — who you are, what you do, and how people can contact you. It doesn't need to be complex.
Already Have One
Great — just provide the URL during Stripe account setup. Make sure it includes your org name, a brief description, and contact information.
We'll Build One
Reach out and we'll build a simple, professional page for you at yourorg.townspirit.org. It includes your org info, a donation page, and everything Stripe needs to verify your business. Quick turnaround — usually within a few days.
Your TownSpirit subdomain page is purpose-built for Stripe verification and can be shared directly during your Stripe account setup.
Go Live!
You're set up — time to start selling.
Once your app is installed, Stripe is connected, your reader is paired, and your menu is loaded — you're ready to go. Open an event, hand the iPad to your volunteers, and watch the sales roll in.
Spirit Pay is designed to be picked up by anyone in about 5 minutes. Your volunteers don't need training materials or tech experience — the interface guides them through every sale.
Adding Volunteers (BYOD)
Spirit Pay supports Bring Your Own Device — your volunteers can use their own iPhones or iPads to sell on behalf of your organization.
All sales from every device are tracked under your organization — same event, same reports, same dashboard. No extra setup needed.
