Collecting FEC required donor information with PayPal.

The Federal Election Commission requires all Federal campaigns to use best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle. Because PayPal’s payment forms include customizable fields that help gather useful information, PayPal helps campaigns comply with FEC requirements.

Frequently asked questions.

How are the campaign funds accessed?

Start putting campaign donations to work right away. When a donation is complete, the money shows up in the campaign's PayPal account usually within a few minutes. Automatically transfer money to a campaign's linked bank account daily, or manually schedule transfers to move the money whenever it is convenient. The availability of funds from the campaign's bank account is then subject to bank policies.
