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

  1. Go to Settings > Giving > Stripe Connect
  2. Click Connect with Stripe
  3. Complete Stripe's onboarding (business info, bank account, ID verification)
  4. Once approved, online giving is activated

How It Works

Donor → Holy Giving Page → Stripe → Your Church's Bank Account

Holy never holds donor funds. Stripe handles:

  • PCI compliance
  • Payment processing
  • Fraud detection
  • Refunds

Supported Payment Methods

MethodProcessing FeeSettlement Time
Credit/Debit Card2.9% + $0.302 business days
ACH Bank Transfer0.8% (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.
