This ensures we can:
Provide support with enquiries and technical settings
Assist with account linking and configuration
Maintain continuity when volunteer roles
change (we have recently seen several groups lose access to their Stripe
accounts)
Accounts remain managed by the Formation.
The State Office role is to provide ongoing support, assist with access
issues, and enable eligibility for potential fees discounting.

Additional
Benefit – Centralised Pricing
Stripe can offer custom or discounted
pricing based on total transaction volume across accounts.
If all groups transfer account ownership to
the
Scouts Queensland Finance Manager (g.bell@scoutsqld.com.au),
this will enable:
Aggregation of total revenue across the organisation
Access to reduced fees
Cost savings passed on to groups
Stripe also offers Point of Sale and Card reader
options for use for fundraising, etc. With the goal in mind to consolidate all
credit card transactions through one provider to use reduce fees as much as
possible, we will look at testing options that may be suitable for Formations.
