What it is
Once Stripe is connected, you can create giving funds (buckets), generate QR codes for in-person giving, run fundraising campaigns with goals, and produce annual giving statements for your congregation.
Note: Giving Campaigns here are fundraising goals tied to Stripe gifts (e.g., a building fund drive). They are separate from SMS/Email Campaigns used for messaging. See SMS/Email Campaigns.
