Goodworld now supports Venmo as an additional digital wallet payment method, offering donors—especially younger, mobile-first supporters—another simple and trusted way to contribute. Venmo’s user-friendly and social-native design makes it one of the most widely used peer-to-peer payment tools in the U.S., and integrating it into your donation flow helps reduce friction and increase conversion across your campaigns and events.
Venmo transactions on Goodworld are processed directly through Stripe, meaning no additional gateway setup is required. If Stripe is connected, Venmo is available.
