Integrations
Stripe Integration
Holy uses Stripe Connect to process online donations securely. Each church connects their own Stripe account to receive donations directly.
Connecting Your Stripe Account
- Go to Settings > Giving > Stripe Connect
- Click Connect with Stripe
- Complete Stripe's onboarding (business info, bank account, ID verification)
- Once approved, online giving is activated
How It Works
Donor → Holy Giving Page → Stripe → Your Church's Bank AccountHoly never holds donor funds. Stripe handles:
- PCI compliance
- Payment processing
- Fraud detection
- Refunds
Supported Payment Methods
| Method | Processing Fee | Settlement Time |
|---|---|---|
| Credit/Debit Card | 2.9% + $0.30 | 2 business days |
| ACH Bank Transfer | 0.8% (capped at $5.00) | 5-7 business days |
Processing fees are charged by Stripe. Churches can optionally allow donors to cover these fees.
Managing Your Stripe Account
After connecting, you can manage your Stripe account directly through the Stripe Dashboard for:
- Viewing payment history
- Managing disputes and refunds
- Updating bank account details
- Viewing payout schedules
Disconnecting
To disconnect your Stripe account, go to Settings > Giving > Stripe Connect and click Disconnect. This will disable online giving until a new account is connected.
