Giving · No extra charge. Giving online: Stripe’s fee + 0.5%
Every gift recorded. Statements in minutes.
Keep your giving provider and bring its gifts in, or take gifts online on your church’s own page. Count cash and checks with two people, and send every household its year-end statement in a few clicks, in English or Spanish.
No extra charge for the records, the counting and the statements, and no monthly charge for giving online: of each gift online Stripe takes its fee and PraisePad 0.5%, and givers can add the fee so the church receives the full amount.

Keep your provider, or give here.
Planning Center Giving connects and its gifts arrive by themselves; files from Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify, Subsplash, Vanco and PayPal come in with a total to check. Or connect Stripe once for your own give page: card, bank, Apple Pay and Google Pay, once or on a schedule.
Counted by two.
Counters count Sunday’s bills on a phone, even with no signal, a check photo fills the row, and a second person verifies from their own sign-in. Once a month matches the bank, lock it.
Names for the few, totals for the rest.
Giving managers see every gift and giver. Owners, admins and a finance committee see totals by fund against budget, with no names. Statements go to each household with the IRS wording, and files for QuickBooks and Aplos are ready when the bookkeeper asks.

Questions
Do we have to stop using Tithe.ly or Planning Center?
No. Keep your giving provider and bring its gifts in from Planning Center or from its export file, or take gifts online here with PraisePad Giving, on the church’s own Stripe account.
From the help: Giving: your church's giving records in one place
What does giving online cost?
Stripe charges its processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ for cards; 2.2% + 30¢ once Stripe approves its nonprofit rate; about 0.8% for bank payments, capped), and PraisePad takes 0.5% of each gift. Givers can add the fee so the church receives the full amount. There’s no monthly charge.

Who sees who gave what?
Only the Giving managers an owner chooses, once their two-step code is entered. Owners, admins and a finance committee see totals with no names, and counters see the batch in front of them and nothing else.
