How giving works
Giving lets people give by card or bank in your app and on your website, set up recurring gifts, and text to give. Your team records cash, checks, and non-cash gifts in the dashboard, so every gift ends up in one place for reports and year-end statements.
Set up giving
Connect Stripe
Card and bank giving run through Stripe. Connect your account in Integrations.
Turn on giving in the app
In Features, choose In the app for card and bank giving through Stripe. (Or choose External link to send people to a giving page you already have.)
Add your funds
Funds are where people can give, like General, Missions, or Building. Set them up in Giving settings.
Turn on text to give (optional)
Let people text a keyword to get your giving link. Also in Giving settings.
