Case Study: Booster achieves rapid school onboarding and nearly eliminates failed payouts with Stripe Connect

Online fundraising platform Booster onboards nearly 2,000 schools in three weeks after transition to Stripe Connect

Booster, an online fundraising platform for schools, faced a tight deadline in 2023 when its payment processor shut down and it had just six months to replace the system powering MyBooster. The company needed a solution that was easy to implement with its lean tech team, strong on developer support, and flexible enough to support future growth while also reducing onboarding and payout issues for schools.

Booster chose Stripe Connect, along with Stripe’s Payment Element, hosted onboarding, Financial Connections, and Data Pipeline. Stripe’s documentation and professional services helped Booster launch quickly, with a proof of concept in three weeks and full integration in three months. The results included nearly 2,000 school accounts onboarded in three weeks, failed payouts nearly eliminated, and all Stripe data synced within 12 hours to support better fundraising insights and future expansion.
