How to make an online donation using the giving page.
Online giving makes it easy to support your church from anywhere. You can make a one-time gift using a credit or debit card, choose where your donation goes, and even cover the processing fees so 100% of your gift reaches the church. All transactions are securely processed through Stripe.
Making a Donation
The giving form opens as a step-by-step dialog when you click the Give Now button on the church's giving page. Here is what each step looks like:
1
Choose your amount
Select one of the preset amounts ($25, $50, $100, $250, or $500) or choose Other to enter a custom amount. You will also see an option to cover the processing fees so the church receives the full amount of your gift.
2
Select a designation
If the church has giving categories (such as General Fund, Missions, or Building Fund), choose where you would like your gift to go. If no categories are set up, your donation will go to the church's general fund automatically.
3
Enter your information
Provide your first name, last name, and email address. Phone number is optional. You can also add a note to accompany your donation and choose to make your gift anonymous.
4
Enter your card details
Enter your credit or debit card information. Your card details are encrypted by Stripe and are never stored on the church's servers.
5
Review and complete your donation
Review the summary of your gift, including the amount, designation, any fee coverage, and your contact information. Click Complete Donation to finalize your gift.
6
Confirmation
You will see a confirmation screen with a thank-you message. A receipt will be sent to the email address you provided.
Tip
Check the fee coverage box on the amount step to add a small amount (2.9% + $0.30) that covers Stripe's processing fee. This ensures the church receives 100% of your intended donation.
Logging In Before Giving
You do not need an account to give, but if you are already logged in, your name and email will be pre-filled in the donor information step. After completing a donation without an account, you will be prompted to create one so you can view your donation history in the future.
Payment Security
All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor trusted by millions of organizations. Your card details are encrypted and never stored on the church's platform. The church only sees the donation amount and your name for their records.
Note
If the church has not yet set up online giving, you will see a message that giving is not currently available. Contact the church directly for alternative ways to give.
