Gifts go straight to your church
Create giving pages, manage recurring gifts, track funds and prepare contribution statements. Gifts are processed through your church's own Stripe account and settle directly to your bank.
Included in every paid plan. Stripe’s processing fees are separate.
Where the money goes
Your church controls the funds
Your church connects its own Stripe account. Each gift is a charge on that account and settles to your bank on your Stripe payout schedule.
Direct to your Stripe account
Your church is the merchant of record, so gifts go to your Stripe balance and then your bank. Sanctuary doesn’t hold donated funds.
No Sanctuary transaction fee
Sanctuary charges a monthly subscription for the software. We don’t take a percentage or a fee from any gift.
Actual processing fees recorded
Donors give by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or US bank transfer (ACH) once you switch it on in Stripe. Stripe charges its standard processing fee (see stripe.com/pricing); donors can choose to cover it, and the actual fee on each gift is recorded rather than estimated.
Receiving
A simple giving experience on any device
Pages you design
Write your own wording, choose the funds, and create as many pages as you need, such as one for a building project and one for the bulletin. Each page has its own link.
Recurring gifts
Weekly, every other week, twice a month or monthly. Anyone can give without an account, and recurring givers sign in with an emailed code to change the amount, pause a gift or update a card.
Funds and pledges
Let people give to any fund, track pledges against a campaign, and compare what’s been pledged with what’s been given.
Campus routing
Multi-campus churches can send a fund or a campus to its own Stripe account, so each gift reaches the right bank account.
Cash, checks and history
Enter the offering in batches, and import past giving from a spreadsheet. You preview the import before it’s saved, and importing the same file again won’t add the gifts twice.
Fees and bookkeeping
Each card gift records the fee Stripe charged and the net amount, so your books line up with what Stripe reports.
Year end
Statements and year-end reporting
Annual statements
Prepare everyone’s statements for the year and email them in one send, or print them for people who prefer paper. Couples who give together can receive one combined statement.
Reports for leaders and finance teams
Giving by fund, by campus and by month, plus a list of people who haven’t given in the past year.
