I just went to try to give you $40 (because there’s an event that I expect to be hosted at Lighthaven, and I want to go to it, and would be happy to pay for a ticket at something in that ballpark of a price, but kind of expect to be offered free entry, so I might as well “pay for my ticket” now to make sure the place is there to have the event in).
But the form requires a phone number and will not accept all zeroes or all nines and you can have forty dollars but you cannot have a real phone number.
(At least in the UK, numbers starting 077009 are never assigned. So I’ve memorized a fake phone number that looks real, that I sometimes give out with no risk of accidentally giving a real phone number.)
Are you checking the box for “Save my info for 1-click checkout with Link”? That’s the only way I’ve figured out get Stripe to ask for my phone number. If so, you can safely uncheck that
(Also, I don’t know if it’s important you, but I don’t think we would see your phone number if you gave it to Stripe)
(I at least have no ability to access to the phone numbers of anyone who has donated so far, and am pretty sure this is unrelated to the fundamental Stripe payment functionality. Just to verify this, I just went through the Stripe donation flow on an incognito window with a $1 donation, and it did not require any phone numbers)

Stripe is even less welcome to my phone number than you are! But I’ll retry without the info saving thing.
ETA: Yeah that worked.
