Model: PNPL never touches the money. Each charity connects their own
Stripe account by pasting their API key in Settings. When a donor
chooses card payment, they're redirected to Stripe Checkout. The money
lands in the charity's Stripe balance.
## Schema
- Organization.stripeSecretKey (new column)
- Organization.stripeWebhookSecret (new column)
## New/rewritten files
- src/lib/stripe.ts — getStripeForOrg(secretKey), per-org client
- src/app/api/stripe/checkout/route.ts — uses org's key, not env var
- src/app/api/stripe/webhook/route.ts — tries all org webhook secrets
- src/app/p/[token]/steps/card-payment-step.tsx — redirect to Stripe
Checkout (no fake card form — Stripe handles PCI)
## Settings page
- New 'Card payments' section between Bank and Charity
- Instructions: how to get your Stripe API key
- Webhook setup in collapsed <details> (optional, for auto-confirm)
- 'Card payments live' green banner when connected
- Readiness bar shows Stripe status (5 columns now)
## Pledge flow
- PaymentStep shows card option ONLY if org has Stripe configured
- hasStripe flag passed from /api/qr/[token] → PaymentStep
- Secret key never exposed to frontend (only boolean hasStripe)
## How it works
1. Charity pastes sk_live_... in Settings → Save
2. Donor opens pledge link → sees 'Bank Transfer', 'Direct Debit', 'Card'
3. Donor picks card → enters name + email → redirects to Stripe Checkout
4. Stripe processes payment → money in charity's Stripe balance
5. (Optional) Webhook auto-confirms pledge as paid
Payment options:
- Bank Transfer: zero fees (default, always available)
- Direct Debit via GoCardless: 1% + 20p (if org configured)
- Card via Stripe: standard Stripe fees (if org configured)
Stripe was wired up but never used:
- No STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in .env
- Card payment step had a 'simulated fallback' that pretended to charge
- Stripe fees (1.4% + 20p) contradict '100% goes to charity' brand promise
- Bank transfer is the primary rail, GoCardless (DD) is the secondary
Removed:
- src/lib/stripe.ts (Stripe client, checkout sessions, webhooks)
- src/app/api/stripe/checkout/route.ts
- src/app/api/stripe/webhook/route.ts
- src/app/p/[token]/steps/card-payment-step.tsx (263 lines)
- 'stripe' and '@stripe/stripe-js' npm packages
- Card option from PaymentStep (payment-step.tsx)
- Card references from confirmation-step.tsx, success/page.tsx
- Stripe from landing page integrations grid
- Stripe from privacy policy sub-processors
- Stripe from terms of service payment references
Type Rail changed: 'bank' | 'gocardless' | 'card' → 'bank' | 'gocardless'
Pledge flow bundle: 19.5kB → 18.2kB (-1.3kB)
Payment options donors now see:
1. Bank Transfer (recommended, zero fees)
2. Direct Debit via GoCardless (1% + 20p, hassle-free)
