Online Giving Integration
Online Giving Integration for Churches and Nonprofits
Intekk Media sets up and integrates online giving platforms directly into your church or nonprofit website. Members can tithe, donate, and set up recurring gifts from any device. We handle the setup, the integration, and the testing so your team does not have to figure it out.

Quick Answers About Giving Integrations
What is the best online giving platform for churches?
The best giving transaction platform for your church depends on your size, your budget, Planning Center is the most popular option because of its ease of use, while CHMeetings is also a viable option for a smaller budget. Both systems integrate seamlessly with Stripe. Planning Center helps you send out 501C3 statements and manage your donations from an organized dashboard.
How do I add online giving to my church website?
Adding online giving to a church website involves choosing a giving platform, creating your account, configuring your funds and giving options, and embedding the giving form on your site. We handle all of that. You do not need to manage the technical side yourself. We set it up, test it, and show your team how to manage it before we hand off.
Does online giving increase church donations?
Yes, consistently. Churches that add online giving see higher overall giving because it removes friction for members who rarely carry cash or checks. Recurring giving in particular produces more predictable income for the church because members set it once and it continues automatically. Mobile giving also captures generosity in the moment rather than waiting for a Sunday envelope.
Can members give on their phone?
Yes. Every platform we integrate is fully mobile-optimized. Members can give from any phone or tablet without downloading an app, though most major platforms also offer an app for members who prefer it.
How do I set up recurring giving for my church?
Recurring giving is configured inside your giving platform during setup. Members choose an amount, a fund, and a frequency, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and the platform handles the rest automatically. We configure recurring giving options as a standard part of every integration.
How much does church online giving cost?
The cost has two parts. The first is our setup fee, which is included in your website or integration package. The second is the giving platform's processing fee, which is charged per transaction by the platform itself and is separate from our work. Most platforms charge between 2 and 3 percent per transaction.
What We Set Up
Giving Platform Account and Configuration
We create and configure your giving account, set up your funds such as general, missions, or building fund, and connect your bank account for payouts. We follow the platform's best practices for church accounts so your setup is clean from day one.
Giving Form Embedded on Your Website
We embed the giving form directly on your site with a clean, trustworthy design. The giving link is placed in your navigation and above the fold on key pages so members and visitors can find it without searching.
Recurring Giving Options
We configure weekly, biweekly, and monthly recurring giving so members can automate their generosity. Recurring givers typically give more over the course of a year than one-time donors.
Mobile Giving
he embedded form and any linked giving app are tested on multiple devices before launch. We make sure the experience is smooth for someone giving from a phone in three minutes or less.
Fund Management
We set up multiple funds if your church receives designated giving for specific purposes. General fund, building fund, missions, benevolence, and other designations can all be configured during setup.
Staff Training
We walk your administrator through the giving platform dashboard before handoff. Your team will know how to view transactions, run reports, and assist members who have questions about their giving.
Adding Giving to an Existing Church Website
You do not need a full website redesign to add online giving. If your current site is functional and you just need giving integrated, we can handle the integration as a standalone project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is online giving secure?
Yes. All major giving platforms use bank-level encryption and are PCI compliant. Donor payment information is never stored on your website.
What if we already have a giving platform but it is not on our website?
We can integrate an existing platform into your site without switching providers. If your current platform is not a good fit, we will tell you that honestly and recommend an alternative.
Can we accept donations for specific funds or campaigns?
Yes. Fund-specific giving is a standard feature on all major platforms. Campaign giving for building funds, missions trips, or special projects can be configured as a separate fund or as a temporary campaign page.
What happens if a donor has a problem with their gift?
Donors contact the giving platform's support directly for transaction issues. We set you up with an admin account so your team can also look up transactions and assist members when needed.
Does online giving replace the offering plate?
No. Most churches run both. Online and in-person giving complement each other. Many members give online during the week and still participate in the Sunday offering as an act of worship.
