LifeFunder campaigns are linked to a payment gateway provided by a major industry vendor. You can only start accepting LifeFunder donations once the payment vendor is set up with your personal and bank account information. Once your campaign is approved by LifeFunder, in which you are informed by email or you check that in your personal profile page, then you connect it to an existing payment vendor account or create a new payment vendor account. In your personal profile, click the "My LifeFunders" tab and in the section titled "Active LifeFunder Campaign," click the "Setup Payments" button for your new campaign. This will take you to the payment vendor's system and then link LifeFunder to it. LifeFunder pre-populates as much information as possible to lessen the setup work on initial creation. However, you must always enter your bank account information there as it is never asked for nor stored on LifeFunder. If you are creating a new Peer-to-Peer (P2P) campaign, the payments will be going to the parent campaign of yours, thus no payment set up is needed since that parent campaign has already done that work. If you are a registered charity, it is best to separately setup a payment vendor account independent of LifeFunder. This allows you to easily link the payment vendor to each campaign that you run on LifeFunder.
