How it works

Get started

	Sign up for a Google Checkout merchant account. You will be asked for basic information about your organization including name, website, contact information and federal EIN. Make sure the EIN matches your federal Non-Profit Tax ID number, and the address matches your organization's address registered with the IRS.
	Identify Yourself as an IRS Certified 501(c)3 Go to the settings tab in your account and identify your primary product type as "Non-Profit (IRS certified 501c3)".
	Collect Donations Once you've completed the previous step you'll notice an option for Checkout "Donation Buttons" appear under the Tools tab in your account. To get started, place donation buttons on your website and process the donations you receive with Google Checkout. After you process a few donations our team will review your account to verify the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of your organization. You may be charged transaction fees while our team completes this review. Any fees you accrue will be credited back to your account within a few business days. Learn more
