Direct-payment guidance for projects that already existed on Geyser.
This page is for existing Geyser projects only. You can no longer create a standard project or public fundraiser on Geyser. New campaigns are limited to approved Circular Grants created with approved Field Partners.
Geyser’s previous standard Bitcoin funding flow is unavailable. If you already operate a Geyser project, you can use the available direct-payment options below so contributors can continue supporting it.
Connect Stripe from Payment Settings. This gives contributors a way to pay by card and sends funds directly to your connected bank account. Stripe processing fees apply.
Because direct Bitcoin payments happen outside Geyser’s payment infrastructure, Geyser cannot verify them. They do not appear in your project’s contribution totals or activity.Double-check that each address is correct and belongs to a wallet you control before saving it.For other account, wallet or refund questions, see Support for existing Geyser projects.
