Online Giving for Small Churches

Give people a dependable way to support your church when they are away, visiting, or simply do not carry cash or a checkbook.

Giving that belongs to your church

Your church creates or connects its own Stripe account. Stripe processes online gifts and sends deposits directly to the church according to that account’s payout schedule.

CommonPlate does not hold church funds and never needs your online-banking username or password.

Clear, transparent fees

There is no monthly CommonPlate software subscription. Stripe processing charges apply, and CommonPlate receives a disclosed 1% platform fee.

  • Donors may choose to cover estimated fees.
  • Otherwise fees are deducted from gift proceeds.
  • The church owns the Stripe relationship and receives deposits directly.

Open a simple path to online support.

Start in the existing CommonPlateGiving application when your church is ready.
