Giving & Donations
Setting up online giving
Last updated September 15, 2026
Online giving lets your members support your church anytime, from any device. You'll set this up under Growth → Giving in your admin dashboard.
How giving works
ShepherdSites connects to a giving provider that securely handles the actual payments. Your church's funds and donor information stay with that provider — ShepherdSites simply adds a clean "Give" experience to your website and points it at your account.
Connecting giving
- Open Growth → Giving.
- Enter your giving provider details as prompted.
- Save. A Give option then appears in your site navigation for visitors.
Good to know
- Giving is a secure, provider-hosted process — sensitive payment details are never stored on your website.
- Once connected, the Give link appears automatically across your site.
- Online giving availability can depend on your plan — see Understanding plans and billing if you don't see the option.
