Learn how the limit on check payments and outside donations is calculated.

RallyUp offers maximum fundraising flexibility by allowing you to enable a check payment option at checkout:

You can also choose to collect check and cash donations outside of RallyUp and manually add them to your records:

By default, RallyUp limits check payments and outside donations to 10% of your total amount raised. This limit can be changed for special circumstances. Contact our customer service team by emailing success@rallyup.com or clicking the message icon in the bottom right corner of the screen:

How It Works

Your current amount raised is calculated from all payments made to your Experience, including:

• Credit and debit card payments
• Payments from apps like PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay
• Check payments for online donations/purchases (donors selected Check at checkout)
• Outside cash and check donations that you manually add to your records

The following payment types count towards the available limit on check and outside donations:

• Check payments for online donations/purchases (donors selected Check at checkout)
• Outside cash and check donations that you manually add to your records

The limit is updated continually as you raise funds. For example, if your Experience has a 10% limit and has raised $3,000, up to $300 can come from check payments and outside donations. If the amount raised increases to $10,000, up to $1,000 can come from check payments and outside donations. 

If your limit has already been reached before a donor goes to check out, Check will no longer display as a payment option in checkout. If you raise more funds and the limit increases, the Check payment option will display again.
