ChurchSpring Giving: Donor Process
If your church uses ChurchSpring Giving on its website, you can easily donate online with a credit card, debit card, or bank account. Learn how below!
1. When you visit your church's website, you should see a "Give" button in the top right-hand corner.
2. This button will either open a window for you to fill in all of the donation fields or direct you to a page with all of your donation options. If you are directed to a new page, click the button or link provided on that page to view the donation window.
Enter your gift amount, select which fund you'd like to give to (optional), and your payment information. You can choose between entering your card information or your bank account details. You can also set up weekly or monthly recurring giving under Frequency.
You will also have the option to cover the credit card processing fees so that the amount does not have to be lost by the ministry.
NOTE: Stripe charges a processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 each for credit and debit card transactions and 0.8% with a maximum fee of $5.00 for each ACH bank transfer. ChurchSpring does not add any additional fees.
Once your payment information is entered, click the Give button in the bottom right corner to complete your donation.
Donors who would like to add a note to their donation can do so in the Memo cell at the bottom of the giving window.
3. A confirmation "Thank You" window will appear when the transaction is successful, and you will receive an email to confirm the donation.
4. The confirmation email will contain the amount of the donation and a link to a donor profile page where you can manage your donations. You will be able to access your profile page when you log in to your church's website. Learn how to do that here: https://help.churchspring.com/article/123-how-to-log-in-church-members.
5. When you click on "My Profile," you will be able to see your Giving tab and make any adjustments or print a donation statement.
