Getting Started: Recipients
You've been invited to receive donations through SplitGive.app. Here's how to accept your invitation and start receiving your share.
1 Check Your Email
When a page creator adds you as a recipient, you'll receive an invitation email from SplitGive.app.
- Look for an email with the subject "You've been invited to receive donations"
- The email tells you which donation page you've been added to and your percentage split
- Click the Accept Invitation button in the email
2 Create an Account or Sign In
Clicking the invitation link will take you to SplitGive.app. You'll need an account to claim your invitation.
- New to SplitGive.app? Create a free account with your name, email, and password. Use the same email address the invitation was sent to.
- Already have an account? Just sign in — the invitation will be waiting for you
Once signed in, you'll be shown the invitation details — the page name, your split percentage, and who invited you. Click Accept to confirm.
3 Connect Your Stripe Account
To receive your share of donations, you need to connect a Stripe account. Stripe is a secure payment platform that handles all the financial processing.
- From your Recipient Dashboard, find the page you've been added to
- Click Connect Stripe
- You'll be taken to Stripe's secure website to set up or link an account
- Follow Stripe's steps — you may need to:
- Verify your identity (name, address, date of birth)
- Add your bank account or debit card for payouts
- Agree to Stripe's terms of service
- Once complete, you'll be redirected back to SplitGive.app and your account will be shown as Connected
4 Receiving Donations
Once connected, you'll automatically receive your share of every donation — no action needed on your part.
- Stripe sends payouts to your bank account on its regular schedule (typically every 2 business days for US accounts)
- You can view your donation history and earnings from your Recipient Dashboard
- You'll receive an email notification for each donation you receive
5 Manage Notifications
You can control when and how SplitGive.app notifies you about donations.
