Stripe's role in the stack
Hasanah may share information with Stripe to process ACH debits, payment operations, and related payment activity. That makes Stripe the payment-processing layer rather than the transaction-access layer.
How Hasanah uses Stripe for donations
Stripe appears in Hasanah's public policies because payment processing is a separate trust layer from account linking. Donors should understand both.
Why that separation is useful
A donor evaluating Hasanah should know that reading transaction data and moving donation money are not the same thing. Hasanah's disclosures make that distinction by naming both Plaid and Stripe with different responsibilities.
What to review alongside Stripe
Even with Stripe in place, the donor still needs to understand weekly timing, failure handling, fee treatment, campaign routing, and receipt issuance. Payment infrastructure is only one part of the donor experience.
More questions
Does Stripe choose the nonprofit for me?
No. Stripe handles payment operations. Campaign and nonprofit routing are Hasanah product decisions.
Does Hasanah still keep payment records?
Yes. Hasanah may store ACH withdrawal history, payment status, donation totals, and related financial records.
Should I review Stripe's own policies too?
Yes. Third-party services may also be governed by those providers' own terms and privacy policies.
