Connecting online giving (Stripe)
To accept online tithes and donations, connect your church's Stripe account. You do not need any technical keys — it's a simple, secure sign-in.
- Go to Settings → Integrations and open the Payments tab.
- Click Connect with Stripe.
- You'll be sent to Stripe to either sign in or create a free account, and confirm your church's bank details (this is how payouts reach you).
- When you're done, Stripe sends you back to SteepleOS and giving is live.
Don't have a Stripe account yet? That's fine — the "Connect with Stripe" button walks you through creating one. Stripe usually verifies a new account within 1–2 business days.
Processing Recurring Pledges
Members can set up automated weekly or monthly tithes.
- On the public Giving page, a member selects "Recurring".
- You can view all active pledges under Giving > Pledges.
- If a card expires, SteepleOS automatically emails the contributor prompting them to update their payment methods.
End of Year Tax Statements
In January, you can generate PDF tax statements for all contributors automatically. Go to Giving > Statements and click "Generate All".
