Billing validation and explanatory text for Stripe Link

This article covers gifts made through GiveCampus. Payment and recurring-gift options depend on the institution and the form.

Required donor/form fields are validated, and Stripe payment elements validate payment data; that is not a guarantee that the donor mailing address is against the bank’s complete billing address. In the Stripe flow, full billing-address collection is conditional on the school’s AVS configuration; otherwise billing postal-code behavior follows the form settings. Stripe should not be assumed to supply a complete donor postal address that the form did not collect. Keep donor contact information separate from processor billing details and review the actual enabled configuration for discrepancies. Stripe Link is a saved-payment wallet, separate from a GiveCampus login; explain it in the relevant payment-step form text and preview the checkout. No universal switch inserts a Link disclosure across every existing form; use each form’s supported text settings or ask Support about the intended broader scope. Whether an individual donor opted into Link needs the actual interaction/account evidence.
