“Direct Transactions” is a new feature which allows for direct stripe connect transactions that portal admin can toggle.
Basically, this mode allows all the funds from campaigns to go to a single stripe account which is selected by the admin. Admin can then distribute the funds to campaign creators or managers manually.
By enabling this feature, campaign creators no longer need to go through the individual stripe setup (funding step) which greatly reduces the complexity for anyone who tries to setup a new campaign.
Following is a brief tutorial for helping site owners to locate and use the setting:
1. Go to ‘administration dashboard’ and then go to ‘Portal Settings’.
2. Under ‘Stripe Settings’, there is ‘Direct Transactions’. If that is being toggled on, then all transactions will go to main Stripe account configured on portal settings.
3. Save the settings and it’s good to go.
