Setting Up Giving
FaithMade has two different places related to online giving. If you're not sure which one you need, this page explains the difference.
The Giving Link (available now)
The Giving tab in Site Settings is the simple option: a giving URL or embed code, a text-to-give number, and links to your church app's giving screens. Use this if your church already gives through an outside platform (like Pushpay, Tithe.ly, or Planning Center Giving) and you just want to link or embed it on your site.
Go to Site Settings → Giving to set it up — see Site Settings: Branding & Design for how to get there.
Faithmade Donations (coming soon)
Faithmade Donations is native giving built directly into the platform — Stripe Connect, one-time and recurring gifts, funds, donor accounts, and IRS-compliant giving statements, all without sending your congregation to a third-party site. Your church is the merchant of record; FaithMade never touches donor funds.
It's currently rolling out and isn't available on every site yet. Once it's live for your church, you'll find it under a new Giving item in your dashboard, with sections for:
| Section | What It's For |
|---|---|
| Overview | A snapshot of recent giving activity |
| Donations | Every gift, one-time and recurring |
| Donors | Donor accounts and giving history |
| Funds | The funds people can give to (General, Missions, Building, etc.) |
| Recurring | Manage ongoing recurring gifts |
| Statements | Year-end giving statements for tax purposes |
| Settings | Connect your Stripe account, set a minimum gift amount, and configure receipts |
If you're not sure whether Faithmade Donations is available on your site yet, check your dashboard for a Giving menu item, or ask your FaithMade contact.
